404: Focus Not Found
Error:
404: Focus Not Found
Context:
Attempted to begin work.
Loaded pry.
Edited three methods,
none of which matter.
Stack trace leads back to: You.
Tabs open, terminal blinking,
but every prompt pulls up
the memory of last night—
the soft rush,
hard pause,
slow urgency of desiring,
and being desired.
Input:
Me, typing like I’m fine.
Me, pretending pry’s REPL
isn’t just a stalling mechanism
for remembering how your voice dipped
when you said my name.
Expected Output:
Productivity.
Office brain.
Actual Output:
Your laugh, looping like a background job.
Your hips, cached in memory.
The ghost of your goodbye, lazy in the scrollback.
Temporary Fixes Tried:
- Coffee (cold now)
- Slack replies (regret)
- Terminal tab 7 (nope, still you)
Suggested Remediation:
Open a draft.
Write your name between the lines.
Let the longing out, one keystroke at a time.
Until tonight loads.
Until I’m back in your frame.
Status:
Compiling comfort.
Deploying distraction.
You still top of mind.
