The Midas Touch

Ode to the algorithm

talking to a friend about organic tampons

Just the other day

When an ad popped up

Right in my face.

That’s just the way

Algorithm knows and hears all

Much like a genie in a lamp

Three wishes

Next, I ask

Pick me, choose me, love me

to show the world what you know

Algorithm helps make the world go

Allowing what we see

The Midas touch,

I’m going for gold

dear Algorithm

give me a shot

It’s what we want

To be seen and heard

For what we read determines

Who we are

Algorithm knows

shows you a cat playing piano

And that’s how it goes.
