<< 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
.

<< Three Worlds Flowering >>

“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

when “I want to turn only as far”

<< 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.

<< Hiding in Pla(i)n(e) Sight >>

preserved under
continuous transformation
kept oversight over sight
localized as lice in carpet
space fabric in pure and only gel

“I can’t see it, I’m in it”
is it the ultimate human
paradox, engine, predicament
the child in the pen
the astronaut above paper

invitation to persistence
for practical abstractions
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
we smile and just might
continue the way
an angular momentum
of each being hidden in plane sight

<< 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

<< it snows >>

Imagine,
if hype and hearsay
were flake and snow

wind might blow
some off to the gutter
healing heaping beautifully
for child play
and snow ball fights
with the other side

some same kinda gutter
with infinite
diverse flakiness
same soulful kinda child
with infinite
diverse idiosyncrasies

imagine,
a gutterless scene
when winters come
melting meets
around the corner
flushing none flooding all

flakes and snow
made way for
waves and water springs
movements and flow
swimming fish
and drifting cattle

then hype and hearsay
are highly here to stay
are flushing top soil
uprooting fabric
snapping twigs
twisting paradigms

such as dogma digs

<< Car Counterfactual >>

I’m running out of words
and yet, wait,
here is a set as if two back:
‘rearview mirror.’

Backsight is black arts
as self-driving driverless cars
are adorned with these smarts
rally a ‘really, what ‘s that’
what else could it be casted at

It’s a reflection of fail-safe
a legal view on one’s rear
as a transistor propagating regression
and a comfort zone rectifying retro vanity

Yet its host looks far further ahead
then it can answer, then it can roll
its anticipated public roads
halting stalemates with traffic-cones

LiDAR, camera, scanner galore
humans out the loop
so breaks shan’t be hit
when scanned rears meet front gears

It’s a future potential
for backward product
and advert placements
joining virtuality off pavements

“The rearview edge-computing mirror”
with touch screen for dog passengers
hanging tongues
catching wind, drooling by

now with built-in
transforming generative
smartness, networked
with all looking glasses around

we all rear better now
personalized connected cheer
and deflected fear
Ah words, as objects, sear

dear Hamlet without a prince
instead of wheels
rear me a horse
adorning rotten rearview mirrors

for your kingdom
looking back at your words
filling our ways with your fun
where yet so much else is to be done

<< Metanoia >>

an engineer was let go
for spiritual obfuscation
an ethicist was let go
for rational clarification

a department was closed
a task outsourced
a process scaled
and outputs hailed

a change in life
unnoticed by moose ‘p north
except melting of crossings
passing for boats

a penitence delegated
to bloated bellies or bones
displacement, replacements
warring lords, washed away shores

the digitizing wheels are churning
whales are burning
woodlands drift ashore
with daypasses for lore
and lithium, cobalt for more

amidst we stand
know and energize
not refuse nor confuse
act and move electrified

bring together or join
espy, not pause
insight to out side
not mourn till morn

we can move
balance analogy
conduct digitally
pause and judge
as we must

then let go
without flippancy
and with modesty
for our
human
immaturities.
