High Road

I love to travel
here and there
today I took the highroad
it was empty and bare
not a single car, bus or taxi
no hikers
most certainly no poets of credibility
I have learned the highroad 
to be void of all traffic
just little old me
with my linguini penguin, a bot or two
my trusty algorithm from India
why they might say my story is
the wizard of artificial intelligence
in the land of Galilee

Arthur, I'm sure it is always pretty lonely there. If you get a chance to see the film, "American Fiction" (I think it's on Amazon), you will get some reinforcement. The film won the academy award for best adapted screenplay and reveals a lot about society. It's unusual in our world of action films.

Clever theme Arthur. AI seems to be the topic these days. Reading the Poetry soup Blog Ai was the major topic. People were venting out their frustrations against it. It is everywhere and growing. Thanks for this clever piece Arthur...
