COMPLETION: FRAGMENTS Sculpture #7
The Earth was a dirty sweater
wrung out gently on a bed of sponges.
A cybernetic meadow, simple little device,
a floating mid-air garden,
strange waves of color…
Unearthly beauty, previously unknown.
Unearthly beauty, a good view.
Children of the skies
too intelligent for this silly world
of aliens and megalomaniacs…
Remember: you are an excellent garden,
made up of sweet and wild nature
left behind by the creatures of the solar system.

“I tend to think of poetry as a technology, as an ancient, durable data storage solution. Humans invented poetic devices to save and transmit information: behaviors, stories, and memories that we had no other way of storing before written language. For many people, poetry and technology don’t go together. They regard poetry as the essence of what it means to be human, and technology as soulless, unemotional, nonhuman. But technology is what has made us human over time.”
