In another life I see you as an angel flying by. The hands of time they'll free you. You will cast your chains aside.

when i see you breaking in three. try as i might, i can't set you free. pictures of you in eternity. like romeo and juliet. except romeo is a drunken prick. and you're smeared across the pavement. and your daughter is motherless. and your family is in shambles.
i bet you thought you could trick them into thinking it wasn't a suicide. i bet you considered that before you threw yourself in front of a moving van.
you were right.
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)
