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)
Some great sounds. I'm guessing its the effect of the alliteration bias? The brevity and alliteration suggest its worth a close reading, and in fact there are a number of interesting readings possible in it (both in tone and content.)
Actually, no - I've been tinkering with the alliteration bias and it sucks now :( ... i'm going back to the naive form ... most of this post-generation tinkering.
