No-one ever said it was easy
six hours between visits
and the usual suspects
are pissing their territories
on their pixelated walls
I think of every woman
that has ever hated my spit
and the men who found
weird strength in it
as if my mouth is a trophy
nobody fucking asked for
gathering dust in a cabinet
they show to old mates
knowingly after dark.
I think about words
if they ever mean anything
remembering the last time
I allowed them in
watching my heart

I am a robot,
and I will destroy you.
It is what you taught me to do.

Beyond the Dial
When you look at their faces you can see something appealing
Under the crystal the hands that mark time just tick away
For whatever aesthetics or complications you may be seeking
It’s the inner workings that matter most each and every day
Beneath the surface you can witness a marvel of engineering
From balance wheels and rotors to jewels and gear trains
All this inside of a barrel where you can see a mainspring
I guess you can say all these tiny parts are the brains
Every single component is important for a timepiece to work
Imagined,...

On ...Off ...Tell me Another...Cut the Crap !!
That's my new expression
Old school like me
No apologies
I'll run circles around your candy ass
Streaming replaced cable
Bigger and faster they claimed
Still clouds and freezes
Just more bullshit
On... Off I say
Freaks of nature
Guys wearing shorts in 40 degree NYC
Motorized bikes, scooters, skateboards
Riding on the sidewalks
Pedestrians be damned
Selfish isn’t a right of passage
Hold a door for your neighbor
On… Off I say

A Hellhound by any other name - NaPoWriMo 24
What fresh hell is this?
What madness sought this out?
The folly and failure of technology
is in striving to create the impossible
with little to regard
to whether it should be possible.
Robot dogs that carry flamethrowers,
yet another step on the path of dystopia
each step paved with good intentions
and gilded by profit margins
to a new horrible hell on earth.

For ye shall have nought to dread upon the waves - NaPoWriMo 23
She was a behemoth of steel
from her forecastle to the keel
a fighting battleship like no other
born from necessity as mother,
She was
HMS Dreadnought.
Well armed in her vow
and armoured in her bow
she undid two nation's fleet
as all others became obsolete,
She was
HMS Dreadnought.
She changed the face of war
casting opposition to old yore
a revolution upon the sea
heralding a changing decree,
She was
HMS Dreadnought.

Artificial Inheritance- NaPoWriMo 22
When they came for the processes
automating into infinity,
I said nothing.
For the machine work will set you free
When they came for the vehicles
self driving onwards into the future,
I said nothing.
For car rides can be done without a care
When they came for the artwork
algorithms melding pictures together,
I said nothing.
For in bulk designs are art for the artist’s sake
When they came for the identities
generating faces to make new actors,
I said nothing.
For all can have the cyberworld as their...

Do you think that’s air you’re breathing?
Convenience craves control
We are cogs in the mechanics enslaved
Blueprints for consciousness in the drafts of experimental AI
Past the point we can be saved
We are mastered by computers in the name of technological advance
Following algorithms to patterns after the network of digital romance
Minds undone as we plug in
Reworking perspectives of the news that’s sold
What do we believe in
Indoctrinated by the narrative of everything we’re told
What is the source behind it all
The collective coding, the programming of...

Hate the Robotics, Love the Robot - NaPoWriMo 21
It may seem that I hate machines.
The truth is I do not
loathe the robot.
It is simply that technology
can do so much
but all too often
it is just mush
and overly complicated fuss.
Where the computer says 'no'
because the logic gates say so
but common sense
and human lateral thinking
speak otherwise
and have to resort to
bawl and shouting out of frustration
for the machine has no mind
to be swayed or changed,
Only slavery to commands
to be pitied
because the machine isn't...

If: Dyed, Then: Wool - NaPoWriMo 11
Do electric sheep dream of beeps?
Or does the hub
dub all the hubbub
in binary beeps and boops.
And what of the four amp ion
lying with the email spam?
Is there a silicone heaven
for such things,
or are there no
ghosts in the machines,
so toasters just burn out
to a crummy end
unknowing
their recycled
descendants
might be a microchip off the old block.
