79119301 GIAMI SPRING 2025,  GROUND FIVE AUTOMATA

A poem I wrote, back in 2020 when I was inspired by my morning commute in the winter. The bus traveled through New Jersey with industrial views. Here I wrote a short story about duality and the conflicts that come with it.

One of the chapters is called "Ground Five" an introspective location where the main character of the story faces their other self.

Only alive in memories,

Being forgotten is as bittersweet as death.

This is my fifth life.

And there’s another me,

Standing at the end of Ground Five.
