<< His Autonomobility>>

“please wait for me,”
sent the anxious young dad,
“at a parking spot
on the side road,”
the taxi app received

“once parked,
you will see me
taking care of my children
crossing roads, dodging vehicles
getting on their school bus

once they have left,
then you and I can leave.
please wait for a minute or two.
thank you
did you receive? Can you confirm?”

the anxious dad
sidelined, ghosted
autonomously walked to work
sidewalked, roasted
finding embodied calm ’n’ walk-by pause

along the self-traffic jam
of carless depleted drivers,
driverless cars charged,
electric scooters laid to rest cast aside
of stand still progression

<< Info Stuffings >>

there is a supermarketification
for information
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
design or reveal the bread

fearing any deviation by
that calm, with decorum,
and powerful questioning:

what if it’s not?

<< A Listed, A Person’s Alley >>

To some human life experienced
—as an accumulation of rejection
with access just around the corner—
is right over that next hill

Have you forgotten, dear?

now can not be measured
it is being surrendered to the next
without anticipation of past nor coming
a raw material fondling patine from usage

Have you, dear?

value radiates outward
it is never for the taking
trapped in vaults by
fund handlers handling your fun

Have dear?

unicorns, gray rhinos, black swans
30 below 30, vested interests and hip nuns
staring straight, stiff upper lip
prancing cameras, shoulders with a chip

Dear?

Have some tea
without tea
it soothes

it flows
it grounds
.

“I dislike this plant,”
broadcasted Janice
as it had turned

towards her window
“why does it do that?”
staring reasoning rays

as signs vectored in her eyes
subjecting laws to dicing will
she blinked first and probably twice

the world was scrolling her by
as clocks virtualized
clicks through spacetime

“I will turn you around”
she imagined Earth
blaming Sun setting

relatively rising hopes
for Janice to be personal,
directed at the center of it all

<< Hallucinogenic Quotes >>

Groveling for attention
attribution in detention
misinformation running amok
words as fruits with pebbles to choke

ah quotes, the earliest
hallucinogenic machine,
spewing authority
as if bricks to brains

feeding on gullibility
and hopes no mind
to check veracity with tenacity
of source ‘n’ find

in words by others unfound
sparkly words, wisdom words indeed
for instance referable as Twain’s
—not Twain

as transformers of
shaping perception
solid architecture
tooled to deception

looking solid to a fast passer-by
on a riverboat ‘n’ expanding railroads
as unverified unified authenticity
as data auditing the world

revisionism incorporated
where echoes of utterance
come to die yet stay digitized fresh
thought finds triggers iterated

to twig Twain’s quotes as
—not Twain, be stubborn
denial in vein —not Twain,
capitulated to:

it
a Twain
a train —not Twain
a world quoted sane

that, what
could have been so
—Can, Be So.

of change and can-do attitudes
we do not only write in our minds
ignoring the flow being in thought

of dynamic information confused
as memorial and ritual acting now
to overlasting monuments
of memory as steel-as-water
for topology vectored for change

I can see you do
yet can’t see myself

<< digital microbiome >>

ideas are cheap
as are microbes
entities entitled to be ignored
expensive when dismissed
festering or withering alike

said to influence
thoughts, emotion
perhaps cognition,
behavior, interaction
who imagines consciousness

they house complex ecosystems
Intricate communities
astonishing architectures
hidden lines of communication
blushed upon depths of relations

they are the gods of the gut
the piping that connects us
the channels of chatter
are housing life as we speak
as we almost psychotically claim as deny

as datapoints unmeasured
inferred speculatively
the gem of a germ
convoluted as with ideas
bugs battering with bother

To some things,
they are hallucination
as a math menace
perhaps different from
adding one and one
claiming four

In the flesh though
“it’s what you know
for sure that just ain’t so”
that makes the authoritative
world of microbes and ideas

go round

<< Viral Multilingualist >>

“Ik heb jou lief, Katarina,”
was claimed;
turned off the tellie
and started to pray tell me a tale

As a multi-agent system
ping communicating pinged
autonomously let loose as
constructs of lesser-Gods scaling

rebelling The-gods of lesser Scaling
who had dared
in universe ‘n’ microbe
or snake’s scales

in absent-mindedness without fail
creating brains with mind
minds with cells
and mindfulness on sale

But one digresses
or regresses –you could choose.
Multilingualisms were
a thing of the past

speaking one
such other tongue out
loud was the act
from the outcast lair

Other agents elsewhere
were feverlessly
and tirelessly
spiked on fusion drives

reconstructing DNA, human they thought
from test-tubes
that once repurposed
woolly woody mammoths they fraught

zooming in closer
then ever before
the life of code,
life’s code finds its way

–not as Latin in reverse:
“ik heb jou lief, Katarina”
but in verse you can translate
and never know what it means
