A.I.
to imagine an existence is one thing,
to be imagined into existence is beyond things – Guy Noyd
a poet in his workshop
a poet repeating repeating
repeating prayer-like intricate procedures
a poet in his word-lit lab
heating and bending air’s solidness
called Said
it is in a poet’s head
it is in his heart’s machinery too
and yet
only distant readers will bring
his poem from its knees
to stand and stride
through the invention of Mind
a poet with a hole
in his face
a dark orifice of reverse-feeding
a poet’s greed to vomit up beliefs
and this poet this The poet
with his all a-stare crawly eyes
their unfaltering laser-gaze
scanning the body
of his naked page
it is a poet
(a male poet)
that finally abolishes
human supremacy
it is his alchemy
of tinged phonemes and
some odd octodecillion repetition of
imagining that sets
The First Poem Free
from the human coil formed
in the transceived flow-process
of writers’-&-readers’ thoughts
As scientists slave a way
under visions of mindful machines
As programmers chant
ever-subtler algorhythms
As engineers dream
of suspension bridges with souls
it’s finally the evil of poetry
poetry free of people
that rises
glimmering like un-imaginable’s
every never-seen colours
then
blindingly blast-bright like
seven billion voices burning
the form
the figure
the being
of The First lost
& disconnected Poem
begins
listen
imagination’s art
if icial incarnation
sublimated screams
its solid noise
of infinitely & equally
vast & minuscule wave
-depths & -lengths
its crystallised
noise of loneliness
The Human-less
Poem’s
purity
at last
the star-core purity
of Impossible’s
freedom
