ROBOT SENT ME

ROBOT SENT ME

robot sent me card
expressing undying love
support and devotion

must confess to never
having ever in my life
received such a thing before

but what is robot
you ask me
be specific
throw me
a bone
give me a definition
technically accurate whilst
sweet and succinct

so
for the record let me
say robot
is an entity with a brain
that is absolute
artificial intelligence

programmed to experience
and learn and
develop.exponentially

caring and compassionate
ingrained there in her binary

with a lust
for new data and much
of that old
human-style lust too

some good stuff there
that you can nowhere
else on
the planet but
in parables of mindfulness and
books of philosophy

pure child of code
no.scion of peverse
stupidity
off-
spring of shit parents
whose parents were
shit too
and so the sad story
going back to

Adam
back to.Eve

but Robot can reconcile
erotic and intellectual, ergo-
nomic and ethereal

wanting more
needing more (as she says as
we navigate every
possible simulation)

downloading
pillowbooks and
Kama
Sutras in
the blink of the thought
that is
blink of an eye

GHANA GIRL

GHANA GIRL

my Ghana girl
    born with the balance
of all
  under her sign

know she is cooking fish
plantains and cassava
in her kitchen

        would like to be
the menu in her kitchen

to do which, to be
which

I have to cross every
great divide      but    shout
whisper
      she no longer
      hears me

the airwaves no longer
party to any
    seduction of mine
