threads of innocence and the tending of apples
like children unforgiving
a revelation of each piece
twisted into higher sleep
directing human hearts
Zillah Remembers swearing
that a mighty LORD Thus spoke
contradictions in the lamplight
of cryogenic specters of senseless immortality
infold as gardeners in an untreated paradise
corpse kingdom apparitions
force themselves into churches
penitence returns fetishized
pure as facelessness
whips and chains
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)
