[These days the videos all / have a way of looping]

Notebooks: March 28th, 2023

As the credits ran
A big big error began.

The theater erupted –
in applause or horror

or simple recognition. The self

expands, an in 
between.

Oh relentless flowering multitude,
AI divinity,

autocomplete it
differently this time.

Where there is no turn
to turn into: find

the same life.

*

As I get older, I find
the old wisdom is true, a tragedy

said more concisely elsewhere
when I was too young to understand

and put it to use.

*

Atop
the step
the boy
we had
reaches out
his little boy arms
and catch him
I do
again.

*

These days the videos all
have a way of looping.
