he Human Error Plays is a hybrid work of poems and short plays that examines what happens when human meaning fails under systems.
The book unfolds as a sequence of tests. Objects misbehave. Measurements contradict experience. Language loops. Identity lags behind itself. Across fragmented poems and three spare theatrical acts, human presence is reduced to feedback, echo, and residue.
The early sections observe material systems drifting out of alignment-fire, clocks, streets, tools, bodies-while later works shift into institutional and technological failure. A thermostat that cannot be read. A therapeutic system that cannot listen. A mirror that refuses to confirm the self.
This is not a narrative and does not resolve. It offers no diagnosis, no catharsis, and no recovery arc. Meaning may appear briefly, then degrade.
The Human Error Plays treats human as a variable rather than a protagonist, and error not as moral failure but as a structural condition. The work is intended to be read as it runs: deliberately, sequentially, and without explanation.
