Are we obsessively looking up and distracted by counting meals on the ceiling, dripping ocularly from last night’s bigbang? That one there sticking cornerly —gobbled up by the overflight of pla(i)n(e) air— has been my best so far. It is its attention in orbit that curves the fabric that some think to deny with fear of tripping over the utensils and interbellum sorbet spoons. It’s hanging out, you say? I could beg the differ yet have no idea what that would look like.

And then there is the space junk messing up mummy’s table cloth. “Oh why is she the sun in my eyes?” “Yes,” she retorted, “there is chaos in the milk, surely, we confide in the softness of the onlooker’s chair while hinting at its aftertaste.” Such is the simulation of sustenance:

virtual air brightens a blue sky hiding the horror of passing gas clouds reminiscent of wars of stars and planets. Their song of the orbs is polarity flattened to B minor and ellipsed by the sun spun spider’s spatula and flairs of burning plasma over a sunny side up egg.

“Dinner time!” a celestial voice calls the children to the table. “It’s all in good ending,” strung-voiced grandpa with a second breathe of youth preceding his last supper crossed out on the bucket list as an article written in a subscription-based peer-reviewed journal, given access to by syndication via translation into Brabantian dialect with Japanese overtones.

And, and, yes, and when the star busts widespread distribution, it can be guaranteed across multiple corners of the cosmos –shared across the heaven’s outlets, scraped into a set of promising data sets to be soon hacked by quantum de-anonymization.

Let him, that is grandpa’s bucket list, mind you, not deny the automated pattern recognition of teeth set into sentences styled by the finger fiddling baby playing with her food particles. “Dada, moomo gougu, iiiii!” having been awarded the highest probability for appearing preceding the fall of Rome and applesauce from said sad ceiling.

As a moment of contemplation the family beneath the falling dishes, sat scraping past worlds from celestial canvases overhead. “At least we are still here,” whispered auntie Bess enclosing the final stage of this ceremonious phase. “Dig in, identify, take in and digitize!” announced the digesting head at the table.

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

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.

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
