we are light

in the midst of our teeming squalor
our inexcusable excesses
the moments when everyone says
shut the fuck up, not right now
remember, we are not
only fools and failures
we’re creatures of light
ancient distant stars
blessed us with their atoms
their being so we might shine
from within
that our atoms of light
might animate us
push us to love, be better,
become, not distant, instead
brilliant, become a galaxy
our cyclotron selves
radiating with each other
fluxing within our shared
fields of gravity
that react and express
each thought, each feeling
to exist between us
because we are stars
we are one

others steam ahead, forge their destiny

Because the moment is trying to seize me.

where is superman

what does superman do when no one needs him
who is superman when he isn’t with us
where is superman when he isn’t here

Circle, unbroken

In Nantes, within a private library
there is a hand bound book, made of soft
now faded lambskin, held together with a
small leather belt. It is one of a kind.

That’s entertainment

The important thing is how will you be remembered.
You might have thought about this, or it might have been the
Ancient Greeks, it doesn’t matter, it’s what people think of you

Artificial Intelligence and Art

The presence of mistakes in art are part of what distinguishes human made from AI made art.
Human mistakes can be indicative of the effort exerted making the art; human mistakes can also be a conscious inclusion on the part of the artist. Mistakes can be an artistic technique, such as splattering of paint by Pollock, in that, the actual application is partially random.
