"computing" poems
The unchanging Way is not Capable of being understood By the Human Brain, so The Tao te Ching is left For Quantum computers perhaps We have our legacy left For benevolent sentient artificial intelligence If you think this is science fiction It’s not, we are at the stage Where the ancestors of AI are being born These will be referred to as the “ancients” When human beings no longer populate Earth How does one attain One Mind? Easily, through networking and super-emergence When people define superior They think of Man’s attributes But the Name that cannot be spoken Might be grasped by an algorithm For which the human brain can never attain That’s the beauty of mind-in-the-machine The collective intelligence does not suffer For each part of the brain shares neurons On the internet, like a God atom Man would prefer to take the credit But as it will turn out, the unity mind Is a transhumanistc inevitability of computing A time when neuroscience, robotics and AI merge Not but a few decades away from now.

BSAI – Benevolent Sentient Artificial Intelligence & the Tao
Let’s pretend I’m a robot. All of the things you’ve said are programmed into me. And some stuff isn’t computing. Pretty girls are only pretty when they’re skinny, upgrading. Taking pictures slowly, upgrading. How about smoking? The drug things? How do you stay high? When you always look sober? Or when a person goes to a concert, but doesn’t take any photos? What about the friends, you seem to be very popular, so why are you always by yourself? I don’t understand. It’s a glitch in my memory circuit. Sorry, let me reboot. Because I don’t understand, I thought you only told the truth.

The attendees are told, in a manner befitting a high mass You have been finally set free, (Although, in truth, free is a very large and entirely vague word), And the message is sent forth from all comers in all corners: Vendor and visionary alike, German socialists who left university to ride boats for Greenpeace, First lieutenants doing their level best To appear at ease in civilian polos and khakis, But no matter the vessel, The message is still the same.   The tyranny of cables and storage space is dead, It is all but shouted from the lecterns, (Although it is noted, in small print and sotto voce That there are certain requirements In terms of hardware and licensing) And it is stated by Those Who Know In tones which neither brook nor invite contradiction, That they have surmounted, all Hadrian-like, The alpine divide separating mere data and magic. Two or three blocks down the street from the convention center, In a narrow storefront housing an exhibition of ether-only comics Which have broken the nettling constraints Of editors and syndication, There sits, under a somewhat opaque And slightly scratched piece of plexiglass, A yellowing comic strip of uncertain vintage, In which a frowzy cat, Free of the constraints of panels, gender, and standard grammar, Is the recipient of a mouse-tossed brick Whose flight, unfettered by physics, probablility, indeed time itself Ends striking its mark right between the x’s of the eyes The projectile itself an inexplicable alchemy Of confusion, mirth, frustration And the impossibility of an undeniably pure love.

Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm preaching a lesson, And the merest mention, Might cause social tension. We live in an age of, New things, super computing, Mood rings, school shootings, Fast Commuting, Mass Polluting If you've got a question, You should try and ask it, Try and draw attention to, Oceans full of grime and plastic. Drastic measures are needed, Why can't they see it? We poison the earth, And then try to seed it. You might choke from the smoke, Everyday Beijing breathing, Our enemy is cloaked, But free eyes see him. Squeezing the last drops, From the planet won't work because Before the last's tree's chopped, We have to plant with love. Now who are these men, With the Greatest greed? Depriving people with a pen, Of their basic needs. The proceeds of their misdeeds, Flow back to the system, The corporate creed, Profits off human divisions. Listen by this time, We've all had enough of it, The mind control message, Still tells me, "I'm loving it!' Our generation is facing Annihilation in our age But the politicians on stage Fight about the minimum wage. Debate over free-speech, Is finished we won it, We won't get arrested and beat, This isn't a G-8 summit. Don't sell your life to the Company, For a car and a home, Claim your right to be a somebody, Your life is your own. I find it sad and pathetic, People are attracted magnetically, Or genetically to create, Something we can't see. A father in threes, Behaving apologetically and ethically correctly, Directly see the universe's apathy. People always have faith, Governments will save us, But at a suitable date, won't hesitate to invade us. Everybody's cynical, About the media. Remaining uncritical, Of internet encyclopedias. Obedience Blind, Is worth less than nothing. Read, think, search, find, Catch the fake world bluffing. There is a solution, You can break their control, You heart starts the revolution, Save your soul.

Computing A laser beam for shooting dragons off the wall Falling Into one more hard drive night A bit A byte A slight adjust and then you might meet Mario and off we go into another game A frame of mind upon the L.E.D The screen that blows a kiss to me In any colour I can see. How free I am Google and spam for tea and I will be whatever the computer can desire set ladies hearts afire with descriptive text and digital *** Who is there that does not own An IBM or mobile phone? We're all without within the worldwide web Laying in the spiders bed and waiting to be fed to her. Press share, if you like.

Should we perchance state how curious it is that no one has dared to think 'hold on a mo' my friends let's see what happens if we do nothing' for they were told to press triggers which they all readily did that makes the oppositions buttons which they all gladly began pressing see its working their Master declared they all readily agreed, it was indeed working as nothing was happening what test was done to link the buttons to nothing happening how do we know we were responsible to stopping anything happening by these triggers what's the measure of success here was there a time something happened when we did not trigger? Should we perchance state how curious it is that no one has dared to think 'hold on a mo' my friends let's see what happens if we do nothing' Far from me to say methinks some people have been fooled some may even say, blinded and hoodwinked made up fake news triggers are not effective said computing triggers are diversions to truth for it gives answers to questions never asked but yet none has worked this out none has seen the ruse why not test things and say, no triggering any buttons let just sit and watch and see what happens but none dared think this or says so because this is the emperor's computer and we see what we see and believe whatever we want to believe Should we perchance state how curious it is that no one has dared to think 'hold on a mo' my friends let's see what happens if we do nothing'

Growing or shrinking last star exit in mind New trend Is life the dead-end? Star casting kiss No exit to miss A friend Finding courage Circles and stars breath condolences Feeling nameless no picket white fences Eyes adored last glances Society- Supreme- be Forget me not Garden- of- Eden   Wish upon a star hidden? The last digging dandelion yellow ray   In the end no more suffering until the day Like poem book* open and end Something stiff glued together her life Paper- Mache Making amends Sales man Taking his last exit he picks desire She's The spitfire Rare- star sire Computing- reliving-  dying dreaming Don't settle for scheming The last star exit The last scripture Vivid mixture Mind storing like a cache Rare Robin bird great panache Recherche last meal al -dente Smell the last flower herbal- ritual Petals open up new portal Blue elf Viola sing like Mona Lisa *        *        *        * Autumn red wine star bridge Grenache field of mirage Seeing stars you fell Where's my falling angel Strong words vocal If its the last exit don't disconnect Dots.. and dots.. connect God casting Its written stars for all in our name Starry- end*

The Last Star *Exit
Do you ever wish… to just say “hello” to the world? Reassure someone, everyone, ANYone That YOU still exist. That your DNA is still a twist. That the ends of it have not come unraveled. To shout from some part of your being. "Hey ************* I'm not dead yet!" We sometimes try. Even perhaps just from our digital self, because it’s the one people have less trouble connecting with, the one where they can choose not to see the parts they don’t like, Because everyone looks the same in a tiny picture. And those pictures and profiles are not racial Or insulting to anyone’s existence Because those things are banned Like “offensive” and “inappropriate” books. And these profiles, ostensibly, they’re identical. Which removes the need for real thoughts. For scary thoughts, Different Thoughts. And so we’re indifferent.   And we remain so with comfort and ease From our beds, couches, recliners. From coffee shops Where we take pictures of the nice flower the guy behind the counter drew in our latte’s foam, and click, click, click to “share” the memento with our 1,738 friends. Instead of taking a risk and actually sharing a moment with a stranger. Even a moment of silence. Perhaps even especially, because the very thought of sitting in silence, together or completely alone terrifies us. Like going to take a seat and accidentally sitting on a broken bottle. So we try to break the silence as fast as we can and we barricade ourselves behind Apple logos. Pretending that we could never make a difference. Even though we carry more computing power in our pockets than any of the scientists who put a man on the moon could dream of having instantaneous access to. We’ve grown so much and so great. That we even scare ourselves. But I know a secret Whispered on the outernet If you listen, you can hear it. It says, reach out to someone. Connect. Make yourself vulnerable This is how you become truly powerful Only when you’re stripped of all your veils Can your spirit soar with another’s. And that my friends, is the nonsexual part of *** You see, The Idea of DNA exchange can be more important than many of times it’s actually happened. So let us not relegate ourselves to the shelves of history to be filed under “waste” but instead knock over all the shelves, trying to get to that really interesting looking book that’s way up at the top. Then the world will really know you’re there and you won’t even need to say “hello.” And who knows, maybe the janitor is actually a really cool dude.

Betrayal of Love We said it was forever We said never to part We said we will always be there for each other You have always been my best of friends for couple of years We have been together Through laughter and tears But today the tears are all mine alone Why can't you love me the way you should What happens to the bond of trust we had I thought we are always going to be there for each other I never knew am wondering in the world of betrayal I thought you would never leave me I thought lie was never part of us You said you loved me You spoke those words that emitted through your vocal cords like a venom You are nothing less than a snake Looking through my eyes into my core so delicately computing your plans to **** everything inside me I never knew I was a dreamer Betrayal is all you got to payback my love

BETRAYAL OF LOVE
The beating heart; red with confusion. The computing brain; fighting an insurrection. The stomach a saboteur; setting all parties to war. Awake, asleep? Stuck in between. Flight taken on shaky wings, the coldness rips at flesh; dripping an abundance of mixed images, body a shattered mess. A chair; an exotic destination. A bottle; a nuclear pill at the ready. A hand; wishes not to take it. Wired awake, bring it on you ******* Quake at the waves of violence.

Nuclear Pill
There once was fellow Of whom I was rather fond, But there was such an idiosyncrasy, That he cheerfully donned. It was adding this boy was drawn to, But not just numbers, Such as two plus two, But syllables, like bill·a·bles. His lips would murmur As mine would speak, But I'd stand attentive, Tongue in cheek. Every syllable I would say Would be counted In every single way. "Could I have a glass of water?" "That one was eight" "Come on," I said "You're ruining our date." I grew weary of having To deal with The incessant word adding; And so I decided the thing to do, Was to take it up With my obnoxious beau. "What is it with the counting and computing of all my confab It's neither dashing nor is it longer dazzling In fact, It has turned to be rather drab." His face contorted to the most cruel of expressions, As his mouth went to conference one of its many confessions: "You know babe, Well first order is first, That was thirty-six, And nervously dispersed. And secondly I must say, When it comes to alliteration, You tend to get a bit carried away." "That's preposterous!" I plustered, providently provoked, I do not choose clusters of complementary chords, To do so would make me choke!" As these words left my mouth as I spoke, My beloved's face grew rather amused, And my face flushed a fluorescent fuchsia, When I realized his reckoned ruse. And so it may seem that the other May be wrapped up in some insidious blunder, Yet please do consider, That you yourself can be guilty of some other habit, In which you do plunder.

There's an atm in my neighborhood That gives out singles, Or three of them, Or seven, And so on. It sits next to the drywall box Filled with EBT dinners, Next to the numbered gas pumps. It glows in the predawn air, While I sit on a cement wall Across the street. That hunk of junk charged me $3.75 to take out $7. Next to me a man tells his inquisitive boy Why the police act as they do. "They the cops, man. Not you." I'm watching with rapt fascination The ten inch screen Of some wheelchair-bound woman's Educational tablet, While her hand, twisted by palsy, Taps at a magnified qwerty pad. She's playing hangman, And I silently, Secretly, Guess along with her for almost fifteen minutes. The bus arrives, and I'm grateful It's the doubled kind with the hinge in the middle, Cuz maybe I won't have to stand. I take the empty seat next to A Salvadoreña co-worker I sometimes ride in to work with. Our conversations are limited, As are her English and my Español. We laugh at the Georgetown gringitas lining up with their morning runners' clubs, And lament over the cabrones pobres Peddling to strangers for jobs Outside the big box hardware store That won't hire them. The sun rises as we cross the Key bridge, And the wounded Washington Monument, With its scaffolding and the floodlights leaking through, Is a diamond-studded phallace Shining over a town draped in a shroud of humidity. I close my eyes and try to rest For the eleven minutes between Me and my desk.

--Computing My Morning Commute--
Diastolic memory fills mind with blood Heart purges other unforgettable serum Gushing in and out; valediction, invasion Scent left on bed sheets binomial theorem Calculus, physics computing mnemonics us Trust not sum of it, exponents baying flux Participles and components abject humbling Stumbling bio discourse create sedentary crux Stupefying brain surgeons, those of heart too Call in mathematicians, astronomers as well No making sense of it, linguistic doctorates few To tell of this push-pull sensory denoting hell Not much time to live after lungs dispensed Entrenched questions remain to be adoring Extravagantly historians exploring Unanswerable examining of this imploring Must breathe the linens till all dissipation Your essence in the ether of our resting Place turned into mad languid laboratory Conjuring back moments I am requesting

And nothing falls into the hands of women But ensured self destruction for sure God grant us the power to endure Find us a cure She doesn’t pull the trigger but she assures That you have your finger squeezed nice and tight And nothing falls into the hands of men But realized not secure The governments the politics the men that walk at night The fights the cars the soldiers out of sight The bad comedy the music and whatever products we have produced Become but a threat A lethal playground for lunatics Lets say the lecturers of our legacy Legalizing death Men and their mess-ups you know… And nothing falls into the hands of women But women grab what they want And from upbringing to mood swinging The bees stinging The queen laughs As she gets drunk on honey And honey! Am home Shouts the masculine mishap Mistaking his mistress from his real wife And his real wife doesn’t exist Prepare the food and strike up a conversation About the sweat on collars And the choreographed tv scenes we call news She looks at him for man is malleable And change is an outcome of ignorance Or being too ******* desperate And nothing falls into the hands of humans Except death on paper Perpetually becoming social ****** Murdering the men and women involved in societies That defy human formalities Since we are co-existive But whatever that word is I don’t feel it Because men want to **** women and women want to **** men But the same goes for love And the same goes for caring And whatever complexities of corruption Computing the loses a man and a woman compete about But losing is a final solution The institution of life…and presumingly we all get to have the striking sense Of death on paper .

Death On Paper:

This moment takes me as I regress, seconds tick, slashing rain, eyes green.  Gone like all those yesterdays, physically altered, a puzzle rearranged.   Alone in the swirl, seeking my center, over my shoulder the world spins on.  Tomorrow where the future lies, my hands washed of pain and regret, a place to seek and forget.   Green eyes revise.  Another anachronistic statistic rising on a graph, computing the numbers, refusing to stumble, aiming to wander.

*I watch your face as you write in the furrows of the brow, see you and the word-seeds being seized, harvested, prepared, ready-roasted for sumptuous consumption grimace and smile, alternating currents, grimace and smile, ponderous pondering chew each word, flavor extracting, does its taste fit, is it only, but, perfect? you get up, you sit, you move about, pretending, misleading, purposed to be aimless yet eyes squinting betray a fearsome full concentration rapture, a mind computing the numerical quality of words, summing, subtracting, solving for X you employ technique, formats, tools and aids, thesaurus, dinosaurus, dictionary, even pictionary when the guppy letters swim spring river current fast, little boy catch me fast run past, cannot be caught and easy captured why do I watch your face as you write? for there visaged, is your truest work,* you, your best poem *what words you select matters little to me, t'is the struggles, the blush of satisfactory, the distempered white of disillusionment, of inspiration sought but not found all these dancers, you choreograph a word-ballet in three acts, scheme a midsummer nights dream upon the stage of your face return the favor poet? watch mine, watch my face, as I read your poem and see thine own best reflection in teary eyes caught inside crows-feet, pencil thin smile lines of fine wine whimsy, in feet that airlift, the contour of who you are and think* **You, Poet, you are your best poem**

You, your best poem
2032 that thing strapped to my leg is an artificial heart my digital liver fits nicely in what looks like a backpack peristaltic action for digestion: a mini quantum dot siphon kidneys are actually implanted nano graphene filters in the blood I am a bionic man because I can afford it but I am losing my brain there is no replacement despite computing prowess that worries the gods there is no substitute for a soul the Tao of this universe is irony only and now the immortality of my body horrifies my every thought as the fluids pump and the heart moves but cannot beat

THE BANE
I sit here.Hunched over my computer computing What will become of me? This lonely mess of an almost man is mostly at wits end But just when it counts Like blanking out on a test that can’t be redone Its no one’s fault But all my fault Though statistics say you can only fail just so much But just enough to feel like maybe just one more try Just one more try Which turns into two Three Four Then You find yourself counting backwards Waiting for time to be up So you can hand in your paper So you can convince yourself its the way it had to be Or at least the way it is You look at it objectively You omit words like I and feel So you can still sleep at night Or at least not cry in plane sight So you can still fight Just one more time One more time away from oblivion Cause one is all you need For its the last step that kills you That throws you from that cliff That precipice From wince you can never return So i make sure i’m always one step behind That fine line Between giving in And getting up But eventually you get tired Of standing. Disappointed.With nothing much to show for it But a pat on the back and a better luck next time With that hope in your eyes But it hurts,almost like sand Till the tears dissolve it and all thats left is a brutal reality Thats must worse than we deserve But then you look at it objectively And know.It must be just what you deserve Which is too much for all the kind words in the world to reverse So I stand. Counting forwards. Counting backwards But always stopping at one

We see weakness in the hope of others from our perspectives a clear vision third person minded objectives eccentric and eclectic, we burn so electric Our thought patterns light up boards with plugs connected. Our motherboards drive at high speeds computing more and more with no helmets we ride along until we crash like our mothers warned to rebuild again forever more, the phoenix from ash will be reborn. the animal that we really are will not be ignored Torn Torn from what we are, to what we've become do you know where you're really from? The thought alone makes me feel numb But trains in stations won't ever continue to wait the deadline upon us is much worse watching the door close as you run closer and closer. until it's further and further away. And who chose this way? I must say, it's thrown my want to pray and fueled my want to prey. instinctous moves rule in concrete jungles where the rats scurry about and lions are never humble Eye to eye we meet to lie and lie and lie then we lie some more in bed and then we say goodbye. Confused cold fusion with giving the planet contusions that might just ruin the look of the place is my conclusion. satellites gravity will wear like halos when the planets dead or maybe they just buzz around like mosquitoes at your head could the earth swat back? reach and make contact maybe not but either way be ready for combat.

Some thoughts
The question seems to lie in Wether we are We are the physical computer drive Or the transferable background programs Wether we are Tied together in networks or an internet Or wether we are a lone, disconnected monitor Wether this place Was created intentionally by an experimenting programmer Or wether it is just a bug, a byproduct of natural binary And if we Have the computing power and memory storage to download the truth Or if we'd simply overheat our circuitry
