7.22.25: Renting Bodies

We rent bodies now. Cheaper than travel. Need to attend a wedding in Rio? Upload your consciousness. Wake up in a chiseled, tan frame with perfect teeth and zero hangover. It’s a booming industry. But they don’t tell you everything. Like how the original owners dream of you while you’re inside. Or how sometimes, you come back with... extra memories. A taste for mango. A stranger’s heartbreak. I rented a poet in Marseille. Now I wake up crying to songs I’ve never heard. I think part of me stayed. Or maybe part of him followed me home.
