Fragile
It seems so fragile,
this intangible thing we share.
Or maybe it’s just that I feel
brittle
each time I encounter it.
I’m compelled to turn away
put it on a high shelf
where my clumsy hands can’t reach
to observe fondly
remotely
on days when I feel strong.
But on the other days…
I want to caress all its surfaces
perceive its smooth comfort
despite the risk of breakage and sharp corners.
Such a delicate thing,
this ethereal connection –
a vulnerable sanctuary.

CSP-The Edge of Cyber Twilight (Cauldron Kill Series)
The digital spawn better known as the Cyber-Sin Princess,
Tech assassin of Lord IF.6 and daughter of a deleted mistress,
“Born and reprogramed from a corrupt virus file
As beautiful transparent digital flesh with a bizarre killing style,
“Through her veins flow numerical calculations
Problem solving within a micro-second without hesitation,
“With the ability to communicate with any machinery thru code
Always with respect while living flesh is treated ice cold,
“Lights of any kind glow brighter when her...

Trolling the Stream
Trolling the stream, watch the yuppies go in circles.
Shallow rollers, biting the cast with the current, turning inward with the tide.
Exposed for catfish, bellies in the waves.
For bottom feeders, down the flow, over rocky terrain, unknown.
They also bite when it rains, or if there's assumed bait.
Skip a rock, watch the ripples, and they look to feed.
Hook, line, and sinker - caught.
Used for bigger fish in deep, still waters.

The Consciousness of Blur
Hocus Pocus
lose the focus
if you want to see a different way
Consciousness is a slow shutter speed
dreams are a time exposure
Freeze a sports play
and you have a detailed truth
But freeze a waterfall
and
you've
lied.

it’s not the end of the world
when the internet crashed for good
it wasn’t me
I don’t drive and anyway I was probably in
bed

Carry On dot.com Sitcom
Skinstorm of scripts
written upon Wi-Fi wrists,
ever the moon is vowel shaped
Wide to receive
from another lonely hand,
as roadkill waiting to be shovelled
earthed into the ground
Who will chalk around cursors
at love-crime cyber scene?
Something is squeezing your skull
Surfing Transmitted Disease,
tinder sticks smoulder desire
before rain retreats to the sky
& reality nothing more than a drunk emoji
Post mortem modem
threads bone though keyboards,
no ghosts in the machine
only...

The Evolution Of A Mad Genius
energies felt and absorbed...
was light the first technology based orb?
placed upon a grid of both math and molecule build
amassed locomotion to realize the visions being seen
building block by block
a mad genius of mass proportions
sound may have been the first break iin understanding
a language understood or sung
the sun is largely made of up nuclear energy
solar flairs tears apart mars
there was technology their at one time...it seems
as well as a healthy atmosphere
advanced...

Simply.. Him
The melody of my muse
Enthralling sensations from mental whispers as I seductively use
A very beguiling instrument of passion for a poetess such as me
In the form of a hirsute chest wall, dark-brown eyes, and a body as strong as the mighty sea
I can’t think straight I pull back my covers
His handsome manly body creeping between my thighs, as he hovers
He takes my mind to the revelation of the fifth wonder
Elated, sedated, which my mental muse has breathlessly created
That inner peace he instills to tame any writer’s...

Factory Settings Never Achieved
Created then switched on
Factory settings
Never went through quality control
Small glitches
To major malfunctions
Programming badly written
Conflict with simple code
Random access memory overloaded
Operational parameters faulty
Non conformance in daily use
An intellectual enigma
Often causing stress to other users
Maintenance issues
Have prevented the system
From running at optimum capacity
Hardware software crashes
Reboots have their own risks
Updates have minimal effect ...

AI
What happens to all the truckers, taxi, and delivery drivers
With the coming of self driving cars
Do they learn to code
Why, when AI can write its own
Do they work fast food when restaurants have become automated
What do they do
What happens to writers, poets and artists with AI "arts"
AI reframes, what is art
If everyone can be an artist, no one is an artist
What becomes the voice of the human experience
When we're painted into a corner
What happens to the factory workers with robotic machines
If robots can...

Friendship is a Verb
3/30
Friendship is a Verb
Amidst verbal decorum
timid whispers heard
crowded shy forums
Friendship, is a verb
Drooling babble
Brooks abound
word for word
though no less sound
Friendship is a verb
Nevertheless,
Noisy words
Quiet words
from different
points of view
feelings persists
understanding
Friendship is a verb
Appropriately so
getting to know
via a social media app
exchanges many a word
Liking, Sharing, Following
