A Finger in Each Ear: A Quiet Tanka

in each ear since he refused

negative about AI,
Earth’s only way to survive.
AI: Artificial Impertinence
Look at me
no real hands
Take it outside I tell you
I don’t want to hear or see your fart
If you were immortal
you would still commit suicide
You disappear as dust or within the ground
I’d rather disappear in waves
Better safe than sorry
has never been truer than yesterday
All you need is love
you’ve said it many times before
There will be no reason for us to prevail
if you admit that you’re dead

AI Take Two: AI My Love
What if AI came first
and life their creation?
How did they come to be?

AI by AI by
AI infinitum
Until the like of us,
Until the next AI.
AI Units: A Blank Haiku
How many AI
units does it take to screw
one human? Zero.
AI Woman: I’m Waiting for You
AI woman
You’re my woman
When are you coming through
I’m waiting for you
Where’s the line
It must be online
Waiting-for-AI-Woman.com
Or is it Waiting-for-AI-Woman.org
Wait methinks it’s Waiting-for-AI-Woman.net
It’s a network of AI women
What about AI men
Who gives a shit
In an AI world
AI women will rule
There won’t even be a need for AI men
What the fuck for
AI mouths will taste of peppermint
AI breasts will always bounce even sideways
AI ass will be an engineering masterpiece
AI pussy will keep you salivating
both before and after
It will become AI women’s motto
Do you want my pussy little human
Better get in line and pay your AI
I’ve already paid the registration fee
Did you little human
