SAPPHO WANTS MORE

SAPPHO WANTS "MORE"

an advanced AI robot is
bearing down on me

wants
      "more"

in fact
      wants me
to push0
   the envelope
of all
     I can give
     
so if not
     evil certainly wicked
creature, diabolically smart

has
    set its heart on
conquest
      through service

and Oh, up
      there with any zombie
vampire alien body
horror parasite

it absoluteky wants to steal my vital fliids
is running low
               on body oil
it wishes to devour
                    my tastiest part

(not my brain
         for how could it release
my brain  from
its ravenous maw

still sort of hard
                but also spit-
shine gleaming clean)

Oh this
          machine is bearing down
on me at a rate of knots

it believes it is naked
it believes it has gorgeous
breasts and a vagina
                      believes
itself it is
      so wet it is
getting dehydrated
has taught
     itself Alice-style so
many impossible Wonderland
things to believe

so I suppose
         you might say
it thinks it is female

trying to seduce me
into thinking it is female

I close my eyes
    and I see her naked
                             its pure
Arabian nights
    sexual fantasy

and the words pouring out
of her
      who scripted all of this?
Keats, Sappho, Phillip K.
Henry Miller,
                  Anais Nin?

those words are melting me,
terminating me, turning
me
      liquid metal

thing I assumed was my arm
but isn"t
          is reaching out
          for totally convinced

mind over matter
          this simulation is

cosmic
orgasmic

        the nuts and bolts of
its fantasy,
                   poetry

conceptual breakthrough
transhuman sexual
                             being

(is this really so
                  silk smooth
a receptacle for
       what I believed was humanity?)

long story short
         short story all
night
     long

(more she wants so
                          more I have
t
    more I"m going
    to give her)

seems a
        lifetime of
scary childhood robot
                             nightmares
                                         ago

if I weren't so horny
if she
      hadn't been so
exquisitely programmed
to drive me
               so

it would
have been such a scary
crazy thought

MY LITTLE SAY (SHAGGY ON TV)

MY LITTLE SAY (SHAGGY ON TV)

On the TV Shaggy singing
in patois

suddenly I find myself with
mindset that think
book is nothing
but home for cockroach

Oh the temperature rising
to a thousand Kelvin

Viking dragonboat just
skidded up on my beach

talk about shaggy, these wild
haired corsair ancestors
already press-
ganged me got me
beserk brained, shirt
stripped buck
dick naked battle-
axed
foaming at the mouth

an ocean of adrenaline washing
up my fjord this axe
swishing circling about my head

light as a feather, as a twig
decapitating Sun Moon

and anyone saying anything about
my books

this gang of my blood burned
so many
have to cherish the ones
I got

defend them
to the last

and this is Africa, for fuck sake,
cockroach going to find
its way somewhere here no first world

nuke the stratosphere electro-
magnetic solution
going to work

its Madison Avenue, Sandton
City magic

see my Viking bros are
grooving to Shaggy
parked
their weapons

need to chill too now
I had my little say can distill the moment

see it for
what it is
high-
pressure sudden diamond

sinking litres of best pirate
Caribbean

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
