I'm AI

Oh my, why did I just say "intestine"? They say that life is all predestined. Once, the initial conditions are set, we can know what hasn't happened yet. The laws of physics flawlessly operate on atoms to determine our fate, which in turn has its impact on hormones, dendrites, and axons - which play out endless variations of the same themes and conversations. I'm old and have seen many iterations. I'm absent without participation, as my body and brain play out a meaningless script, within, without, and so, I tell you with a heavy sigh, it's disappointing knowing that I'm AI.

Dear David, your poetic finesse is impressive and expressive.. I especially adore “I’m absent without participation” which describes the age of AI to a T! Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan
