Iambic
The heart muscle was the last to go and the first to return. Universal hum replaced the rhythm of the iambs formerly locked in human chests behind the pureflesh and the cage of organic bones. But Samel -- the last fleshmachine -- kept a heart long into the age of Electrantity. For a time, when we still kept clocktime, some considered his choice a matter of nostalgia, like keeping a record player or a bicycle on hand beyond the first paradigm shift; others believed he had plans to replicate fleshhearts from dna and create a resurgent trend of packaging historical remnants in lockets that opened and selling them to newborns as novelty items.
