Machines Poems

AI warning in verse

Shines would soon be taken off poetry,
When machines replace humans as judges,
By then wisdom will have fled human minds,
Making AI seem more intelligent.

Poems churned out will then be wishy-washy,
Since standout ones will have been discarded,
As machine junks — confirmed by machines,
So undeseving of recognition. 

As more and more inferior works are praised,
At the detriment of

Premium MemberPink Slips and Bipolar Vending Machines

My supervisor is a young, soft spoken Asian gal...
Who averted my eyes as she handed me
my end of the year "compensation award statement".
For working weekends and holidays
being an absentee on birthdays and funerals (thank God).
Despite the company riding the gilded air currents
like a diamond studded albatross,
I'll get seventy-three cents an hour raise.
I met her eyes

Naked By Sanket Karjule

Have you been stripped bare once more tonight? Didn't you?
Not like every other day—
Today, you chose to do it yourself,
Hoping to tame his rage before it erupts.
But fate repeats itself,
Just like always.
He arrives—
You smile,
Hoping to soften his mood,
Yet that stone-hearted spawn
Doesn’t even look at you.
Unhinged, he unzips,
Like a machine, he flicks on—
Twisting your legs like

Premium MemberIf UltraSound Machines Break Down

If ultrasound machines of the world all break down
We had better make friends with nocturnal bats.brown.
They use ultrasound to locate and navigate
There is one hanging by my west garden gate

Vampire bats could help us diagnose disease
Be polite and make sure you use thank you and please
Nurses and doctors will have to be trained to be

How Not To Show Love

Fear you announce to whom you love
Shaking their hands yours in glove,
The rich foods into your mouth shove
While watched by one you think you love.

Then, you are below not above,
For much skewed is your show of love:
You never will rank with the Dove;
In dreams your type gods away drove

Try with children to wild streets rove,
Round

My vacuum is a robot
My tumble dryer, true
They're programmed to assist
My world
And keep it ordered too

I feed my dishy-washer
My clothes go in a box
It's where the magic happens
Yet
It always eats my socks

My telly can now do things
I cannot understand
With mini robot partner here
Clamped tightly
In my hand

The toast it pops. The microwave,
It sings me out it's

Proposals For Upgrading a Company

It was a dragging argument
For the need to funds augment:
Ten voices in Duke's Department,
Their owners in Fred's Apartment;
Not sure of Duke's contentment
With talks on firm's new investment:
Mention of fridge,no compartment...
All men shouting: poor comportment!
"This company is reputed,
   Even as it is refuted"
   Still motives being imputed;
   To staff's quest

Unplug the Machines and Let Death Come Naturally

When and if the time should ever
come when all is said and that can
be has been done

And the only signs or form of life
that remains is being kept alive
via electronic machines

Believing he could no longer or would
wish to fight on otherwise he surely
would have 

Then gather round all that loved this
poor soul whilst still alive

Machines of Fall

Afternoon autumn
Our neighborhood goes crazy
Like living in a dentist’s office

Drilling sucking blowing
Whining wincing scraping

Gurgle

My head tilted back
With a book on my chest
Mouth wide open
Staring into the glare of the final high sun.
