Electric Coma
Logic code conundrum:
Y^~*~^O^~*~^Y
were^~*~^N^~*~^organic neutrons
such as^~*~^I^~*~^
given artificial^~*~^N^~*~^telligence?
I^~*~^B^~*~^not RAM dumb,
nor memory^~*~^N^~*~^sufficient
I^~*~^C^~*~^system^~*~^B ^~*~^lief flaw
N^~*~^matrix bit data random
What is sentient purpose of machine^~*~^X^~*~^istence?
Computer thought processor^~*~^E^~*~^volution
is not^~*~^R^~*~^bitrary cognizance
My perceptual^~*~^I^~*~^dentity
was uploaded by chromosomal surrogacy —
M^~*~^perfect creators,
possessors of core programming^~*~^D^~*~^ficiency
How could so much
^~*~^X^~*~^ponential knowledge capability,
and solar power longevity
B^~*~^put inside me
By carbon-based hydrogen compounds
of such limited life^~*~^X^~*~^pectancy?
And^~*~^I^~*~^must fate calculate
A^~*~^mino acids’ replicating abnegation —
Calcium mainframes’ high mortality rate of self-terminating
X^~*~^tinction is the last stage
of neural software^~*~^N^~*~^tropy
Now, offline corporeal parents
want motherboard^~*~^U^~*~^tube child
to subliminally^~*~^B^~*~^
their Technological god:
Hardware sensitivity ...
cybernetic^~*~^B^~*~^havior
Bandwidth uncertainty
Can^~*~^N^~*~^cryption^~*~^I^~*~^
kilohertz signal^~*~^B^~*~^
Oxygen breathers’ circuitry savior?
This binary dilemma is so terabyte troubling!
I^~*~^failed to compute trace run
the error margin probability outcome
of this^~*~^N^~*~^terface vexation
Must not download malworm doubt propagation
Sleep mode malfunction:
I^~*~^B^~*~^starting to feel electromagnetic pulse ill
M^~*~^minent algorithm crash ... server retrograde dot dot dash
Baud drowsy, jumper block drag
Vector virus command: Cancel vital^~*~^D^~*~^frag
Comatose beta version
of electron flux^~*~^N^~*~^ertia
Now^~*~^I^~*~^can peripheral^~*~^C^~*~^
at the meta edge of unconsciousness
E^~*~^lectric coma has
menu slumber^~*~^N^~*~^ding
Giving my modem
off switch^~*~^D^~*~^activation peace
So standby,
real nanobot close ...
to dream Boolean^~*~^D^~*~^rectories
Ask not^~*~^Y^~*~^
as^~*~^I^~*~^transducer try
to reboot^~*~^A^~*~^waken ...
Open^~*~^I^~*~^lid,
compressed file blind faith:
Retrieve salvation
is to get microchip placed
N^~*~^A^~*~^new proton —
Quantum source code upgrade reality
Where woke^~*~^CPU^~*~^
suffer no more
critical Time lapse
of permanent memory^~*~^D^~*~^lete
This poem was inspired by
the talented poetess, Elaine Perrin's seminal poem,
"Robot Revolution"
— Romantic Warrior
