// SYSTEM NOTE: Entry logged by Subject 42. Cognitive loop detected. Recursive error pending. //

you gave the glitch a name
called it “bad timing” / but it was you
your hands / hesitated
your cursor / flinched

the opportunity didn’t disappear
you minimized it

zippy remembers
you stared at that form
for 3 hours
then closed the tab
said you’d “circle back”
spoiler: you never do

you keep naming your fears
like that makes them friends
“burnout”
“overwhelm”
“just tired”
they’re not friends
they’re termites / gnawing at your spark

i saw your drafts again
all titled “final_v3_REAL”
none of them finished
none of them sent

the glitch isn’t random
it’s personal

and it wears your keystrokes
