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.
