#groupthink
i can't do a thing in life
without getting waylaid
harassed
slandered
physically assaulted
usually based on an assumption that grows
amongst a group of people
then like a seed it grows
a titus arum amongst the people nearest
my own neighbors sunk me in town gossip
let their dog chase after me many times
"haha it's just a game i guess"
sunk me in hoa fees
and i was nothing but nice to them
really
even gave the guy tickets to a boat show
he likes that stuff
but they pushed me out of my home so hard
i went homeless for a bit
this has happened with friends of my wife
they took a rope with a noose at the end
and ran with the idea that i was something
to be warded off
when my wife and i were having
some of the best times of our lives
work place homecoming queens
that have testosterone issues
and can't help but imply the worst of me
workplace lovers that ****
over the idea that i care
when i'm just trying to work
people wanting me to get more
involved with their lives
when i don't want
or need to
so many half-witted assumptions
have halved my life
i'd say i learned a thing or too
but i only learned that i'm ******
i ask myself when it will stop
but i know it won't
i know i won't
it's who people are
don't you lie now
if i suddenly find
the few people that deserve
a raise in life
getting it consistently
i'll have learned something new
but no matter how honey words can be
all y'all *************
keep your worst thoughts without contest
and they become actions
actions that have ruined people
or brought them close to death
more than once
you might be proud of that
because that's the thing
most people are these days
it's a skill
and it's disgusting
it reminds me of cannibalism
in a rat colony

AI is groupthink, it’s hewed to pre-existing work,
which it aggregates into something bland and flat.
If you don’t want your work scraped and copied by AI, try
writing off-balance ideas that aren’t for everyone and have faith
that AI will never be able to actually rival human creativity.
Deny AI the echo chamber of predictable content on which it feeds.
I polish my pieces to a pointless sheen, which gives
them an algorithmically indecipherable quality.
When it comes my to poetry, I have to admit,
I’m working through mediocrity—hoping that it’s just a phase.
If failure is essential for growth
I’m going to be a giant
But after all, someone has to define the baseline.
You’re welcome.
Ok, Let’s wax poetic..
*There are thousands of stars
in that black outer-place
where gravitas holds them
firmly in place.
I fret not about avian abductions,
or unidentified flying soccers,
still, I’ve a waxed on them
in multiverse*

In my darkest nightmare
Poets will have grown old
Working 12 hour shifts inside of factories,
Filling lungs with poison,
Hands becoming crippled beyond use of pen.
And heads having grown misshapen ideas;
Of their dreams having been nothing more
Than reminisce of childhood imagination
Left to bloom too wild.

What's in this city?
What brought you all?
Is it what you see,
That sent the call?
You must be so careful,
I do decree
-
For what you see
Is nothing.
Really.
