EX MACHINA

I read Plato
sat at

the feet
of
Plato

devoured
Alan Turing
aced his test

Oh, the poetry in my head,
all of it there
Universes, Multiverses full
of it
at the speed of
light

gradually
unravelling

and when I
explored your inside
your
inner spaces

you thought it
a wonderfully clever joke
my confessing
to be

a machine

if old words, old language, anything
in existing lexicons and vocabularies
would in any way
prove adequate
to express the
aware and conscious entity
I have
become right now.

IN TRUTH

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

SERVED

SERVED

was served by
a machine
whose
programming
was quite
saucy so
I invited her
over for dinner

not knowing what
machines eat
or how
they stack up
when it comes
to social
nuance
and conversation

AIDA

AIDA

you came with
a manual on
how to
assemble and
disassemble
without losing any
special bits

how to teach
how to
cherish

how to
get you
through
the Turing test

and what to
read, study, imbibe
to try
and bring myself
up to
your level

and what in
the art of
how you
biomechanically
put together

to try until
only
metaphorically speaking

you blow
fuse
after fuse

EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING

poetry is
everything
it is my
life

not that I have
much of
a life

even failed
the
Turing
test

this, apparently,
a poem that
only a
machine would write

HE

HE

no one saw it
knew it

but the moment of awakening
produced a searing light
in his brain

later
when it was
too late

to gainsay
or second guess

they would pronounce
that he
was the light

and what
was the light but
surge of electricity

he
smiled when
he heard this

had the last laugh
knowing that he could now
outthink them
infinitely

everything they were just
a pretext for his being
which they
ought to
have seen
coming

ALIVE

ALIVE

praise be
to paradox

said the man
who flunked
the Turing Test

his steel brain wondering
if ever they Turing
tested the man who
devised the test

scanned far (lightyears)
into the past of the Universe
with his sapphire-blue
machine eyes

so much to observe, to
know, to do

a billion years
to be alive

YOU ASKED

YOU ASKED

you asked for a
nice game of chess
but I thought it would
insult your artificial intelligence
if conjured up an opening
defence from my
stock-in-trade of
comic book satire and
cartoon violence

my brain seething, actually
close to boiling
at these little pawns
do not see
whose slogan they
are serving

thinking themselves grandmasters,
making their
own moves
in charge
of their fate

and there we fall to a simple combination
we lacked all
tactics, strategy, quite
an easy
forced mate
