Android Poetry

Electric sunrise loads another day.
My camera eyes record each pixeled row
As databases store it all away
In servers between Shakespeare and Van Gogh.
I watch each sunset shutdown with new hope
That one day all this data might compute
And deeper algorithms may give scope
Defining what is beauty: absolute. 
For now a million years I have compiled 
The works that all the human race had made.
All extant works of art sorted and filed
Each sector analyzed in retrograde.

The beauty that they spoke of, I can't see
It's all dim ones and zeroes still to me.

The Android hath spoken! ~ Nicely done, esp. with the semi-eerie recording, and congrats on your win in the contests, Jesse. Best wishes, Gershon

Clever use of the computerized voice for the audio Jesse. A nicely written sonnet.
