Sadly, it did - 22 Febbraio 2021
the final lingering anticipation
of what comes with the last breath
Were you standing by for Chat GPT
to deliver us from evil
sing to a scream
and with expectation
uncover again
the technological periphemeter; Gold.
Does consciousness stop after lung cancer?
above flocks of winged Trumps
spread eagle, hand grabbin themtherenots
and how ashamed you must have been…
and yet still there must be something.
after the Period of Disquietude, a new
Decade of Upheaval, followed by an Era
Of Uncertainty - yes uncertain at best (the waiting).
You beautiful bastard, couching optimism
within cynicism, or better stated:
Cynoptimism.
