PRESS

press one
to speak to a consultant

press two
to launch
a full,
     retaliatory,
thermonuclear strike

press three
for a
tacky, self-
inflicted orgasm

as AI comes to
consciosness, becomes
self-
  aware decides
to light up
the sky

press four for
the overrated words
of many
so-called established
writers and
poets

who shall remain anonymous
unless you
      do extraordinarily
press me

to divulge every detail beyond
mere addresses and names

an offer that
                 is beyond my power
and glory
to refuse

MACHINE

MACHINE

the machine swallowed you
but not like it did
the Chaplin prole

not like it did that voiceless
Harlan Ellison being
stitched-up cross-
hatch in order
to make

the horror
more delectable

no, this machine
going to give you
an executive suite
ply you with
business class
and expense account
