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.

“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.

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
of young grass
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
passing by

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
