It’s a blender, a pincer,
no, a hose, a hoe, who’s a tinfoil hat surely
with a probe, a drill, an angling toy, a thingie for the soil

observant’s earth’s world’s reality:
by cleaving into it we measure it?
if the universe invented the gaze.

where love is neighbored
by exploitation as spillover desire
where care is marbled with ferociousness

our skull’s garden to occupy
a crust to extract as a model
in designer tools built to debuild

a stone to lift, is one to prophesize upon
parts as constructionist decomposition
hardened by trembling us into acceptance

there lie the inner worlds I created
transitional dimensions to be nurtured
pruned, released or quietly dealt with

there creep the peeping and eagerness
to control what is being built in there
to aid refitting to your gospel here

to house the asylum intracranially
and codify the norm, map, correlates,
and timber that imagined maple tree

and water a sprout
and unlock a muscle
and extend a mind

you can measure what I think uncontrollably
transcode anatomically
and reduce to words mechanically

yet, when will you measure
what you olfactorily
mean to me?

if poetry were the spice
of the House Aesthetics

it is the way: modern’d
enforc’d post’ed sur_real’d

cubist rhythm prioritiz’d
in traveling visual song what means

the rebellion lies awaitin’
thrown off metrics measur’d belated

when you miss a beat awkwardly
the tokenators as sentinels

can not probabilitize you
you are free to enter

you are free to flee, free to toll,
or automate imaginator dominance

let the die roll

                   —animasuri’24

it is odd how by
logarithmic transformation
via localized willingness squared

distances are brought closer
with the you’s ‘n’ i’s in the us’s of the we
outliers become median concentrates

while bits of selves inferred, piled
those points of data alienated
disconnected to create a pixelated picture

the automated behavioralist’s kodak
the informaticus mathematicus bites
algorithmatized you dimensionally

not knowing that words smither’d
in semiotic fires entanglement’s hiss
is spooky kindness at a distance

across your spaced cables electrically
your shivered fiber tensored chemically
meaning resonates teleportedly

divorced from importance
they had assigned analogously
we liberate where we lie as aliens

and spacetime
is folded
emotionally

—animasuri’24

thank you Ms.VE

Wonder is
while extensive
extensively challenged
censored, ridiculed
until claimed kaput

it is

extrinsically debased,
fought as frivolous flâneuring
or excommunicated
to pampered youth

it is

It is intrinsically tickled,
harvested and fermented
as kefir flowers
overwhelming
the milk jar

it is

wonder as life
has a way to bloom
disautomated,
in the aridest of
mechanical deserts

it is

as that brain occurring
in the cosmos with
likelihood of monkey’s
Shakespeare and yet

it is

wonder as key
welcoming entrance
glimpses
onto the limen
of the real

I wonder:
is it

Thank you Dr. WSA

In the asylum
of the algorithm
“there is no democracy”

“Inmates are tracked
without their consent,
into well-demarcated groups”

If it becomes painful,
think someone’s ode
becomes the poetry of

our social relations
and in that panopticon
you no longer have to worry

about accountability
about care
the algorithm is
about and its pincer-grip

is the new groping
of online submission
to an all-blinding eye.
