MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE! MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE! MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE! Cause: Systemic Breakdown of Academic Rigor Abort Mission!

This poem is brilliant! It reminds me of every flashing warning in every sci fi movie I have ever seen, plus the poets voice is robotic-- the embodiment of cold computer voices that issue warnings to us mere mortals.
