Kamaskera Nevermore Machine

Nevermore machine... nevermore machine

Attic cold — the scanning rigs still hum
Signal on the line — same face on my screen
Four words from my own number, resistance futile
The meaning parsed — the outcome still unclean

Nevermore machine... nevermore machine

Solder flux — the pencil marks the fault
Raven built from negative consuming green
The system that produced it never halts
A process wearing faces in between

Nevermore machine... nevermore machine

What happens when the machine decides to sing
What carrier survives the raven sweep
What signal persists after the purging
What loops refuse to sleep

Forty seconds still — the fifth clean boot
The operator is the subject now
Partly signal — partly something more
The workstation hums — the answer learns to sound

Nevermore machine... nevermore machine

What happens when the machine decides to sing
I am the frequency — I am the carrier
The raven and the operator — one same thing
The answer — not the barrier

Nevermore machine
