a ruthless queen surveys a board of boxes
she is a regress of masks
faceless, disarticulate
a speck of cursed mirror
lodged in her eye
& she mimics only ugliness
with dust in time
spread across our agonies
she sits atop her mountain
waiting, brooding
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)
