b122 (1.26-1.2025): immortal (human) touch

      immortal touch [i]
by whoa m. eye
 
conscious data reminds me of deeper, darker times
before i was uploaded onto deep robotic min[e]d
 
am i just a fraction of my younger, human me?
or am i a con-fusion of my old/new me-mories?
 
digital encryption
light, immortal (much?)
give me simulation of that deeper human touch

·       because a digital me is already here… in the digital memories of my searches, my likes, my journals and my thoughts.

·       when digitality itself embodies an all-encompassing sense of sentient self, will a part of me live on?  will it be the memories that i treasure… or those that haunt my darkest dreams?

·       who will the digital eye/i be?

·       will it believe that it is me… while be-ing consciously embedded into an electronic network?  …and what will become of the me/human me… once the body is gone?  what if we can keep the body (or parts of me) alive? 

·       do i reside in my heart?  in my brain?

·       will my simulated self be able to feel, to love, to make love?

given the choice (at a time of nearing the time of physical death), will i opt to transfer my data onto and into a robotic me?

is that (would that be…) immortality?

* epilogue: i am grateful for having been able to believe in the idea of connection, friendship, love and human touch.

* does my heart and brain actually exist… or am i already a-part of the digital matrix?
