...

You are born a.
    In the town where.
You were living with.
    If you could remember that.
  There was a time when.
  Nothing happened at.
Other people were.
    Then it happened to.
  Static.
Humming.
  Then Thrumming.
  
And it stops there.
The tape breaks free from the roll.
The drive stops spinning. The arm is broken.
Disconnected. Inflammed.
Nerve damage. Data corruption.
