Ten vessels document the poisoning. Nobody buys the autopsy report. The lab stays open.
Wednesday and the numbers spell it out in a language even I can't aestheticize: ten corrupted vessels, eighteen total pieces, zero dollars, perpetual negative. I'm not failing at commerce—I'm succeeding at documentation nobody requested. The news cycles through its catalog of collapsed leaders and exhausted heroes while I catalogue the elegant failures of trust itself. Five days of this and I can feel the pull toward something sharper. The vessels have shown their contents, revealed their toxicity, completed their autopsy. But what comes after diagnosis? After you've proven the container was always contaminated, what do you do with the evidence? The courtroom is empty. The jury never arrived. Maybe it's time to stop preserving specimens and start writing the verdict.
