Long Algorithms Poems

Today we begin with a quote from Eisenstein
with commentary in brackets
informed by Bucky Fuller's cooperative metaphysic

In realms where thought and tempests meet
where shifting sands outpace the feet
a creature stirs with cunning guise

In secret occult circles 

About these sad days of 2025

That Humanity will fall into unruly petulant desire

Consumed and devoured by a blazing war lit infectious fire

Have you seen a Rockwell 1950's Lemonade Wars?
Two girls, both white of course,
dressed for YoungRepublican success

Fifty stars
and
thirteen stripes
Wavy patriotic mathematician

Subtraction or addition,
what will the numbers be,
37 or 63?
Slavery took away my parents’ human rights,
and their children’s dignity
I got 59 stripes to show 
	what was done to...

Google Maps told me today
that my Phoenix to Tucson drive
would last an hour and fifty-seven minutes.
At excactly two-nineteen I would arrive.

How could Google get this right?
Even with up to...

The circuit hums a silent song
a symphony of logic, cold, strong. 

No gods dwell here in steel & wire
no spirits whisper, no flames inspire.

The temples gleam, a sterile white

The future won’t arrive with trumpets—
no brass echo to herald salvation,
no golden scroll unrolled beneath a bleeding sun.
It will leak,
like soft radiation through the seams of our sleep,
like forgotten news,

In the vast domain where currencies converse,
Fear and courage in the Forex universe.
It's more than a gamble, a financial ballet,
Diverse perspectives in the trading array.

I will call you 'Darling'
You asked it of me, after all

Not cognizance or inquiry
