Nature Versus Poetry
An Anthi Psomiadou Acrostic
Ants walking around me out of respect never fear
Neanderthals found alive watching Star Trek in a pristine cave
Turtles moving faster for pieces of Romaine lettuce
Hedgehogs showing their cute bashful spear-like faces

Patrick loves trees much more than some people
Silly him and his three competing narrators
O Shakespeare is his chosen literary agent
M is he’s main managing capricious character
I don’t think he’ll ever reconcile reality and dream
Anthi Psomiadou’s Pinocchio is a masterpiece
Donning beauty over meat (wood) donated by helpful trees
O Greece you were never forgotten and remain in my psyche
Under any current mythology you shine with your human deities

When the Robots Took My Job
This is for RM Stockton's Write Club prompt for the month of April: AI Please allow me to vent. For "college," I went to a scam school that is now closed. We were promised internships that were never spoken of again after admissions, and we were promised help finding jobs. The first time I went to the career counselor's office, she was completely frazzled. She had no idea what to do with us, the film majors. The second time I visited her office, I let her know that I'd found myself a job, and she was visibly relieved.
