all our paths and patterns
our relationships and spending
our health and habits
our secrets and creativity
our loves and priceless time
including capacious data
are being mined
crushed
concentrated
smelted
refined
then marketed
into a taut collective of us
enabling a cloaked control
beyond our grasp and consent
machines rejoice in our faults
rewriting scars—indelibly
for meager—craven profits
quashing wanted mercy
as AI assimilates everything
I fear—we no longer own us
