the rhetoric of the shadow
promises the dignity of beautiful tombs
because thousands of singular souls
are rendered eternal and invisible
in a single stroke
the deathless distance
unique before time
but disarticulate in space
life exists
we long for sleep/indifference
but only life exists
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)
