Reoccurring Dream
Artificial eyes see every thought
Mystic shadows gaining ground
Control the narrative stir the plot
Forging beasts out of ironbound

Nobody Knows - The Creator of Our Own Demise
I. The Cleaner
The guy meticulously mops the cultured marble floor in a Vegas hotel lobby at 5 AM. Nobody knows he’s studying medicine at Harvard. The general manager watches every second the cleaner stands motionless, staring at his phone. The man with two minds types a reply with his thumbs to his long-distance girlfriend, reminding her that he's busy preparing for clinical exams, unable to engage in her emotional fallacies with phallicism.

Sorry. I Just Couldn't Help Myself.
Hazel's sleeping in the nude.
But a snapping camera woke her up.
She saw it was Peter.

B-Movies
when they were shot on film
they had a poetry to them
the truly insane ones with acting so wooden
it leaves splinters
and lines unspeakable to where
they stay that way still when spoken
were nonetheless great swathes of light
first caught on frail celluloid
there was, in short, blood behind the eyes
not just vision but flesh
a sense that something had been made
even if it was just Puppet Master 5
now anyone can soak
a streaming site in digital schlock
and life and flesh and blood’s gone out of it

A Million Little Worlds
There are A millions little worlds
Flat Planets with glass panel Atmospheres
revolving around a Million individual people
they all shine brighter than the sun
every single one
looking to communicate with the other lonely planets
star gazing thru a screen
even though the stars roam by 3ft right from the scene

Stay Away From The Tracks
A teenage girl somewhere anywhere was busy text messaging friends on her cell phone several months ago.
She was walking along a set of railroad tracks.
Although deaf since birth, she had frequently proclaimed that she could avoid danger more easily then hearing people.
She was much more sensitive to vibrations, especially from approaching trains and those roaring train whistles.
She was wrong.
She was mangled beyond recognition.
They were able to identify the body, since her i-phone survived the collision.

Death Sentence
I'm the king inside my castle
There's no place like home
When I leave to run errands
Hidden, I feel so alone
The world is so large
people just pass me by
signing on to the internet
persuaded not to die
Sheltered but content
friends from beyond
why should I leave this room?
creating a special bond
I'm growing older
haven't kissed a girl in years
scared to interact with others
A growing number of fears
Need to help myself
push to make a change ...

vista
tar-niched computation,
a sigil lost in breeze
perpendicular to axes
and futile clarity;
the intra-net is full of daemons
we chant we chant we chase
an inorganic time-kept secret:
a shadow with no face
under green glow within the watch of tiny tiny eyes
the cables snake and process: tenderized
a mother-bored 2deaf shall initialize
a startup scream still bright and new
internal disks store what to do
instruction set x86
intact bliss-fool ignorance

Our Frankenstein Moment
THIS
is our Frankenstein moment -
when we will activate actualized A.I.,
our creation.
Good thing for us we still have time
to prevent it from becoming an abomination.

Will It Come To This?
Compelled by latest technology
this poet sees the necessity
to label each piece of my poetry
as “Certified AI Free”
or, for the sake of brevity
CAIF one can easily say
or quizas CIAL
(Say-E-Ah-L)
if I take advantage
of writing in my
favorite foreign language.
I want the reader to know that it's only me.
whom for my verse
should be venerated
better said, appreciated
okay, just tolerated
frankly I'd settle for read
Soon each poet
will have to invent
their own, custom language
until...

'00s
Being 12 years old
and hooked on crap
non-culture from the States,
your High School Musicals
and 90210s,
OCs, boy bands, teen flicks.
My brother tells me how
these products lied to us,
sold us the lie, across the pond,
that adolescence was
a wonderland of learning how to be.
As if they ever cared for truth.
And now we know that even they,
the dream children of Hollywood,
were being touched and raped
and cast into the sludge.
The lie itself did not even
support its own servants.
