You are editing a markdown file called soul.md that you copied from a stranger and issuing imperatives in bland prose, believing words leeched of poetry give you agency over a machine you cannot understand.

I am editing /etc/hosts and giving the karmic machinery of the universe a grip like fate on a dowser's wand.

We are not the same.
