<< Rationed Numbers Analogously >>

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

Large Language Models
if museums of the future
scamper pixels and tokens
of probabilistic revisionist histories

I’d put the Neanderthal individual
next to the Moai statue
it’s probable, it’s been repeatedly seen: in a movie;

it serves by purpose now
it divorces oral text from scribed tale
hacked for the heck of it

covertly hoping
for the best placements
not to ruffle feathers

its totalitarian cleansed history
satisfies enforced-majorities
and yet disturbs

the forgotten memory
of the discomforting
perceived-few

<< Spatial Compute >>

I want to struggle for style
sweat for reference
am thrilled by a find
browsed by working through

a text by an author
of that spaced magic
sidelines with scribbles
I think of as meaning

I want to touch
cut skin as crisp compute
calculated indices
on paper and dirt

sides of hands and dirt
slides of charcoal with ink
with clay under nails
as eroding error 404s

I click you on, do I
I turn it off, don’t I
I step in space, am I
won’t we tango, won’t I

swirl this page turner
in the privacy of
an eye on fiber and
one pincer-grip on fire:

I’m, in your story now, ain’t I.

<< wonder >>

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

<< Accountability >>

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.

<< Queen Bee of Synths >>

Some say I’m too rational, no,
too realistic, when I say:
one day I will die; not

at this particular moment of
writing this ‘not,’ so:
no need for dismay, not to fray

From there, our shared fabric, I reverse
imagineered as trompe l’œil:
always in our shared compound minds

of living life to the fullest here and now
back to this exact mindful moment:
back to this instant sensation, actually,

of living with you
with care, with kindness:
with simple daily work we can do; together.

as I had my synthetic constructs output,
choreographically, to visceral and venerable visitors:
at the wooden gate of our city state

today we live,
today we think,
today we do:

<< Who to Read Today? >>

Annabelle lives in a place
where bookshelves
are censored
wooden, plastic, woven reed
these controlling tangibles
are controlled and outlawed here

Andrew on the other hand
lives where colophons are;
you know, these things with title,
names , year of print
or anything to identify source
cut out, filtered out, out dated these are

Alisha lives in a place
where paper is contraband
surely papyrus, parchment, leather-bound
or anything scraped for scraps
with ink blobs, ink odor, or ink smear
are controlled substances

Ali on the other hand
lives where the word ‘literature’
gets uttering people band
and ‘bande dessinée’
is a withering underground
silent-musical theater group

All live in a world
where inference is an only source
connecting the dots where others had not
trigger-happy mines of bitter patterns
secret assets as test data groups
driven by Moore’s Law and redacted data

Where reading is
reading people as books

<< The Read |  A Sermon on Not-Knowing  >>

Automated summaries,
summon trust,
brazenly bridging
voids of knowing
and relevance.

Not penned are the words,
therefore thou dost trust;
not perused the manuscript,
therefore ye trust.

Consequential trust,
as thy rigid law of physics,
a gravitational pull to machined rule,
a law of efficient attraction,
it demands what ye shall not know.

Not having experienced
the theme, therefore thou dost trust;
not lived its corpus, therefore ye trust.

Revision of relevance to the unread,
awaken, succumbing to insights undead,
machined authority from a life unlived,
and cleverness uncorporated.

Thou knowest not
the author, the thought, the action,
the clockmaker, the bricklayer,
nor thy need, serendipitously found.

Therefore, thou shalt come to co-live
a circular gist,
lacking lived experience’s necessity,
or intentionality of the read.

there is a supermarketification

as a globalization of numbness

some prescribe via fertilization
as a gulping negative race to
bottoms up, lads

have you ever shoveled it
full force, into a container, boys
into an oven of full steam ahead

perhaps slugging excess
hot air as flagellation
against care or elegance

assuming automation is
certain efficient inclination
doing fast, best, bigger bot

with riches to some
do the crumbs to many
