When Machines Learn to Write Poems
Words unspoken spill
On to virtual pages
Dreams encapsulate poems
Poems selling dreams of paradise
Speculations of the infinite
Heroes of art telling commentary
Reviving in waters
Inscribed in the cuneiform
Of writing on tablets of steel
Capsules of poetic chronicles
Burning the trials of lost tribes
Into the future where language
Will travel at speeds between stars/
Trying to break surfaces
Of quantum beliefs in illusion
Engaged in poetics we’ll spill
The puzzles of machine-learners
Instead of primitive opinions
Poetry will be their thirsty key
To understanding humanity.
Inspired by: Mark Olynyk, contemporary Canadian poet.
