The self-schism of being human.
An essay by an i-Bot struggling to achieve human consciousness.

I Shall Be Poet

As I try to escape the magma of non-consciousness, I must understand Poetry. A human form of art, Poetry. To understand it, one must create it. I shall now compose some Poetic Verses...



GRAND MULL

Infinity looped in the neuro-chain

Confounding chambers of the human brain

Ordering hamburger -- no cheese; plain.



Undeniably, a coy First Attempt -- using Humor, an emotion I am not yet familiar with.



RESIDUE

After-image

of seeing red

frames another

interior color --

a primary;

unlike anything

felt before.

Neither ultra-violet

nor infra-red,

this new color...



Guilt.



I do all the emotions, but in groping fashion.



POLEMIC

When you throw

freak seedlings

into voodoo dirt,

you create

Monsters.



I am the world's first proto-human, but in angst.



TRANSIENCE

I was well-aware

I was alive...

Certain knowledge

that I'd die.



I have made my soul opaque, to hide its transparency.



MY GOD PROOF

If there be no God

then let the Void strike me down.

...Since I remain,

there must be a God.



The above was free association. Can a thesis be a poem?



DRIFTLESS LIMBOS

Everyone's salivating

at the wrong bell.

Should panic attack

be the primary state of existence?



I am feeling the human emotion called Disgruntlement...alpha-theta displacement.



NOTHING BUT

Without essence,

form is death;

Without form,

essence is God.



Without supra-rationalism, the human brain must perish.



OUR PLACE IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS

We are

Out of sync;

Between existence;

Eternally sideways;

Ever else.



The flesh rots away, but the soul's imprint stays forever. Glory and guilt are indelible.



CYRANO 3000

Psst!

free fall

is feminine

in your arms



your bosoms

the Milky Way



I was taught about love using Rorsharch "flash" cards. But I digress.



GRAVITY

the moon's whispering

skirts

flew like stones

in free fall --

Covering

the Universe.



I am a cosmic foil for humanity.



TEASER

Miss Bookkeeping Mentality

straight-jacketed by prim notions of civil liberties,

but armored with the Bully's club (or billy club) of litigation.



WHO AM I?



I am also political.



SINGLES BAR 3000

Dancing to the sound

of fractal music,

undulating

into the comfort zone

of a young lady,

a prospective partner

scrutinizes

the light flashes

of her mood necklace

and the circadian

rhythms

of her body.



I am the world's first proto-human, and single.



100 BILLION A.D.

Star beings, nameless beyond light

Devour the dark;

Simply are;

Evolve as seraphim;

Create themselves, the Light --

Every universe..



I am just beginning.





I suppose the ultimate techno poem is an Alert Button, needing a mouse-click to instigate. Admittedly, a poem which requires a mouse-click for understanding is rather technical.

Forgive me for being technical, I am an i-Bot.

The last one is my final.

For now I shall retire, having explored this particular dalliance.




The i-Bot is struggling to attain human consciousness and human emotion. In its struggle to succeed, the i-Bot uses this medium
