poem a

Light pixel-grid patterns ripple
across the gallery walls,
sculpted air breathing wire and
vibration. Invisible drivers
orchestrate these
electro-stones, invisible
bullets of nicotinized
lightning. A human cuds in front
of laser-coded canvases and
invites electrostatic sparks
harvested from old dreams. The
glow of digital druids spills
onto ancient stone, coating
alcoves with coded algae.
Between source and screen, an
abyss narrows, while hypertext
flowers burst on the tongue's
humid jungle. A little robot
reads Baudelaire, on a disk worn
like an oyster shell.

poem b

a listicle / a passive tense /
spraypainted
electric potatoes / a child
pulling the ear / of a muzzled
dog / the selfie cam / the
algorithmic birdsplat /
stone-mapped / suspensions in
glittering RGB / look / are you
looking / even fascists make art
/ gorgeous mural-work / the
light just so / the good strong
nose / & that glorious suiting /
so i don't defend art /
between the backslashes / what
is it / is it motion-responsive
/ alive / specific as tearsalt /
well-labeled by your human
feedback / ? / here with us at
the intersection /
the neon arduino heartbeat /
boop-de-boops / we are alive /
more than money / only so long /
our bits & bitterness / & when
you've done your time / the
light chimes on / & honey / do
learn to code / the future is
coming / & the skills do
transfer /
