spiral mythologies
for circular gods
the nesting reflex
of parrot cataclysms
the incest principle
of royal bloodlines
pharaohs don't rot
let us copulate
on the ashes of our ancestors
by the vein
of the void
re-entry principles
are the speciation of cheetahs
self-preservation, gravestones
airtight coffins and cryogenic freezers
when I find the mortal god
who enacted this disaster
he will be my master
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)
