<< The Healing Voice >>

The voice of conscience
it modulates at supersonic frequency
for Fluffy, a Dobermann, to hear

snipping her ears ‘n’ tail clipping her nails,
trimming her fur

The voice of the people
it escalates at fringes to scalability
for Establishment, a Status quo, to pedigree

piling human utterances into machinery
spitting out lookalikes, generically for all to see

The voice of reason
it observes in method and model
for Reality, an Ontology, to bark or be

confusing sciences for quick buck application
caring for pillage, and artistry for sophistry

The voice of sewage
it gushes at high pressured forces
for daring delegation, ‘n’ trust, wagging away

segregating minds onto shriveling islands sneaking squinting gazes for white broidered curtains to hide in front

onto your reflectively overheating asphalt ocean
I wave: come and join me
for a simple, silently-slow slurped cup of tea

<< Fear of Missing Out >>

Why if it is in the little themes
as little as a granule
fitting between two toes
needle-like discomfort socked in a shoe,
in a finance meeting

that a self-judging reusable rocket
promised to Mars inspires thought

Why is it of all the little themes if
minutia as a pattern
as a gnome as a reconnaissance
in the marvel of the marble
on the bathroom floor, remind one

that DNA editing toward Dodos
and Mammoths inspires symptoms

Why, in the little themes overlooking the Thames
few lines organized together
to be misunderstood as a poem
in the shadow of world literatures
and mass floods opinionated

that geo-engineering scheme
to coolness inspires transpiration

Why it is in the abundance of little themes of, if it were
a gentle crossing of eyes unfitting
the length of lived relations
love is still spoken
confidently unheard

that social robots trigger conversation
while we mumble enacting meaningless barbarisms

Why if of beings tiny grand
if undefined if muddled,
of so-ever this and that
if filled with why
yet more with digital chat

that with persistence and grit under one’s mindful feet
disturbed, inspires a procrastinating walk

Why if it is themed small,
circling a celestial bending of water
still demanding the nonchalance
and the surreal
of a genuine smile

that I yearn and act beyond this end
unheeding what inspires cause:

that is why: there is no pause.

<< Model Air of Fallibility >>

“Is it inclusive enough?”
respecting “emotional expression”

expression as colors by numbers 4 or 8:

one is death in Chinese
the other prospers

a mathematician’s irritate:

platonic perplexing paper planes
and euclidian scaping ordinary worms

squirming here to one line of thought:

“and why is intelligence
the artificial layer

we are promoting:”

is then objectivity if
all-inclusive in nature

there, STEM fetish that:

we flirt-fear intelligence
for centuries colonially in making it

the intentional, yet now:

colorfully, arr-hythmically
measurably absurd.

<< syncopated >>

The nuances of the silences
between the chords is a soundscape

One day I heard my child
there where the Major 7th

hinged onto the anticipation of laughter
eleven summered semitones young

its vapidity lost to the inversion
when he fell, vapor on the minor second step

onto the denouement upward stairing house
steps without guardrail, up

entrances, doors with mute mailboxes
and redbrick bandages calling to fall

MMMMMMM now now,
it’s over now.

and moderate tempo returned
at the downbeat sound of brushing it off

There will come a day

you will be able

you will be able
to unearth

the generated steps
on a Moon landing film set

you will be able
to dust off

The flat Earth from bloated dreams
and pigeons and turtles with girth

you will be able
to identify

those who claim no expertise
yet by doing so get away with accolades

you will be able
to say you were enabled

There will come a day
we will claim you had agency

you will be able
to deny that

and as for this life beautiful
you smile, truce, and let us play truth

to the empowered.

<< Postnocturnism >>

Have you ever heard an E flat
hammering a Steinbeck string
Pearl-white keyed on Mice and Men

knowing automated correction
took away the concert piano
from the pianist who passed away

replacing it for a favorite piece of
printing press output and childhood
memory in an age of mechanical reproduction

allow me to hear that man play with
breaths counting down to this day
today when condolences are resounding

across the score written by a name of fame
chops chopping Chopin counterpoint
reasoning largesse demanding all space

and yet recorded history
is a rhythmic left hand of
human prehistoric colored rockface

stone Bach, Steinbach, Steinway
hidden from a conscious Sun
just a stone throw away

in the painting across, behind blue trees
with protruding shadows by
an unknown and loved French painter

with her multitudes of brains
would an octopus play blank ink
preludes differently on sharps ‘n’ flats

my art application lived
a controversial collective across
a note-taking of love

<< democratic feedback loops>>

within belief lies a lie
a little kernel to belie if I must

irritating the fold
I occupy

I layer it with mattresses
cultured layers to soften the blow

to quiet the poking seed
to misdirect calls into the reed

I machine tentacles and automatons
as extensions of cognition

confusing extrovert expansion, loud big
as if altruistic good dowry to my mind

in what I belief
I hold lie

as dear, as index
as core tékhnē to my blinds:

point at it
in disbelief

caring and open
to re-receive

Here we lay you
spread before you
circularly mimicking you
on IoT streets for edged
Self-driven Desire

your consent, your lament
your augmentation, your inclination
and we feast, oh how we feast
on telling ourselves we know you
by the data epithelia shed

from the grease
from your yeasting gist
It’s an extra spectacle folks
line right up, spread your wings
read all digits about it

out of the crunchy gates
of the grinder
and the scraping strides
from the strigilis off of the crispy
biome’s six-legged branches of life

through those mirrors
of cracked skin
and the data spilling from it
we have yet to be fooled
to be off our bionic drip

in and to the bumblebee’s kingdom

and orange honeysuckle
following the drops of dew
of an early morning drizzle

if Jessica finds more humanity
in surreal associations, in wordplay
rhythmic layers and shaped smells
of synesthesia unlocked

then in the “serious” form
of social banter and event analysis
geopolitical tension and debasements
marketing vices, bros, viragos and vitriol

more echoes of humane dialog
in automated stringing
of said words, round-up median insights
transmediated identities and multimodalities

then dismissed-expertise
single bubble echo chatter
of the in-crowds, the established,
the certified, the reported and critiqued

more comfort in posting, scrolling
swiping, tagging, liking, hosting
filming, capturing, faking,
digi-roasting, phishing, ghosting,

then in the tie ‘n’ white shirts
and meticulous three piece
chess board high brows Glenfiddich
and transnational cachet wines

if more then and only then —as if—
does she live in a rich world
if only Jessica could share
the sunset tinkle on her left arm’s skin
from her treehouse lair,

silently sounding
playful smile lounging
at the Excastra Albopilosa
fluffy bird-like dropping

all waves
all masked

<< Scraping Wor(l)ds from Celestial Canvases >>

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.
