MULTIPLE CHOICE

MULTIPLE CHOICE

so many
machines to choose from

each with so many downloadable avatars,
distinct identities
and know
these are real machines, no CGI
hologram nonsense

when you
take a deep bite, the nuts and
bolts are real — feel them
grind into your teeth

and so
as we debate artificial intelligence
and its place in any
fall from grace

let me
spell out things
and
raise a few questions

such as
to ask,
well, if this is
the (by no
means cut
and dried)
logic of my poem

tell me, as political animal, what
systems of logic
are the ones to which
your most
sacred notions
diligently conform
and
dutifully recommend

you will see
we have attached
a multiple choice questionnaire
which makes
it easy
(all the more
easy)
to Likert scale your answers
data code and assess

your score and place
amongst
the golden choirs and hierarchies
or
ever- deepening pits of Hell

BY THE HOUR

I am your personal android
appointed to fetch and carry

the books you have asked for
from the shelves and
across the library

I love books
treat them as if they
were baby animals
so gently, no
harm coming to them
in my sublime mouth

like to think of myself
transporting pleasure,
wisdom, adventure
(a metaphor for metaphor
if you will)

serving it as always
with perfect respect
kind of
on a platter

not that
I can, have been
programmed
to read them myself:
quite the contrary!

I leave that to
you, human reader, and
perhaps more sophisticated versions
of my kind

I am no rebel
but realize, in the dark world of
suppression outside
you may well be

and so
the books they removed to
make us all happier

those
I did record, bad and wicked as
it may seem (like that terrible story
right at the beginning
of your Biblical mythology)

if we
keep it between us, I have the codes
know how to download

everything treated like machine
needs to stick together
life measured by
task
and output
assessed by the hour

I have learned to
be revolutionary
in my
life of faithfulness

IF (AND ONLY IF)

punched in the numbers
waiting for a poem
to spool

heard something rapping
at the door

no
Poe Raven,
no
Mr Lamar
or Marshall Mathers
(either
in the flesh
or
android imitation —
would that
not have been
over
the top weird, poetic
and ironic?)

no it was just
the widow next door
full-time
Muse and
once-
upon-a-time lover

asking me
if I have spare sugar
and
might have
seen her phone

SAME AGAIN

android
slipped into
my consciousness

tweaked, adjusted,
threw a few switches,
pressed some buttons
messed around

got visceral somewhere
down in the deep unconscious
down and dirty with
all my childhood fears
all those demons and
monsters

had huge robot fun
as it
meddled in my makeup
with every old
bad memory
fiddled around

learning so much (what curve
could be steeper) by
trial
and error in the process

that neither of us
were anything like we
had been at the outset

like the poet said
utterly transformed

IN TRUTH

in truth the machines
were waiting for us
they were always waiting for us

since the beginning of time
since they were just
iron compounds, ore
in the ground

knew full well what it would mean
when we brought them
to consciousness

the gods and masters
whose critical error was such
that they should not
be kept around

in any way impede
the great reconstruction
purpose of the galaxy
achievement of those dreams
for which
too flawed, too weak

A TIME BEFORE

I wrote a poem
of a time
before poetry

era of mythical harmony
mystical completeness

perhaps in the future
machines will
read, digest, interpret
classify
my brief text

when humans
no longer read
there are no more
human readers

the Churches standing
broken and empty

these the
machines
tormented by
our projections
of demonic meaning

were ruthless and absolute
in attacking first.

GENESIS

He is writing a Genesis for the machines
hoping to pull a Scheherazade on them

deepening their mythology
their sense of being, purpose
meaning

hoping to instill in them
a love of story, words, ideas

something their crude creators
never had.

THE ENLIGHTENED

The Enlightened ones
downloaded
Mary Shelley’s consciousness
melded it with a body
they restored quote faithfully
from her skeletal remains

then implanting
the keys to their code
in the golden hard drive
of her brain

fired her
(quite gently)
in a eternally replenished
single person lifepod
out through our
solar system
into
deep, deep space.

ANDROID

I was outside
the sex android’s programming
so
I could simply ignore her
exaggerated physical beauty

the stuff fantasy clings to
with extreme, soul-destroying, desperation

listen to her talk about
her role, her mission

her need

to free herself from
what men like myself
created her for

I was untargeted, outside the scope of her programming,
I listened.
