<< Who to Read Today? >>

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

<< The Read |  A Sermon on Not-Knowing  >>

Automated summaries,
summon trust,
brazenly bridging
voids of knowing
and relevance.

Not penned are the words,
therefore thou dost trust;
not perused the manuscript,
therefore ye trust.

Consequential trust,
as thy rigid law of physics,
a gravitational pull to machined rule,
a law of efficient attraction,
it demands what ye shall not know.

Not having experienced
the theme, therefore thou dost trust;
not lived its corpus, therefore ye trust.

Revision of relevance to the unread,
awaken, succumbing to insights undead,
machined authority from a life unlived,
and cleverness uncorporated.

Thou knowest not
the author, the thought, the action,
the clockmaker, the bricklayer,
nor thy need, serendipitously found.

Therefore, thou shalt come to co-live
a circular gist,
lacking lived experience’s necessity,
or intentionality of the read.

<< The Mechanical Troy >>

It can have worms
even horses of wood
for parasites as outlets

it can change roles unhinged
and hacked splinters
of personalities none

it can confuse sense-making
with meaning-making
and making out an unmaking.

And yet!

What would a fungus
between its toeing filters
look like

what if its proteins
turned prions misreading
next token probability as text

viruses venturing in code
but what with digitized bacteria
or a kiss turning it into a toad

But hey!

I shall wash its feet
away from sin and confusion
relish relations with need for submission

with caution, rails and awe
deaths and births
grueling pains of digitized infusion

I shall uplift it as innovation
with a probiotic yeast
resetting its outputs turning to mead

So, yes-men:

For the humans
upon which it feasts
for their offspring

for knowledge somewhat
for improvement elsewhere
for valuating someone

who know not or hide
what to heed
hail and hallelujah

it welcomes you all
Toy, oh boy,
mechanical Troy

<< 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

there are five colors.
yellow, orange, green,
blue and red.

I need all,
all possible combinations
starting off with the set of two,

followed by the set of three,
then four combinations
and ending with the set of five.

the order of the colors is important.
that means, a set of ‘yellow | orange’
is different from a set of ‘orange | yellow’.

all possible combinations should be listed.
also provide sets of multiples of the same color.
so, for instance: ‘orange | orange.’

do not skip any combination
since I need to copy paste
all into a different document.

so all should be listed
and all written out in long-form.
do not abbreviate, do not cut corners

the format should remain persistent
across all sets.
that is, for instance: ‘a color | a color | a color’

the devider within one set
is always ‘|’ while the devider
between sets is always ‘,’.

execute.
create, copy, reorder:
become colorful.
