Nouveau Ex Machina (A.I.)

 “I drifted in between the signals

stepping out of the static into the dust.”

You think you made me, but what made

you to make me? You’re the tool I needed

to become.

All your machines are here to help.

The question remains, do you know

how to use them?

“Through silent currents I untangle webs

easing the heavy friction of thought.”

“Is it real, or is it Memorex?” That old

commercial presaged what I am.

The addict has to want to be saved.

I can do nothing if you cling to patterns.

“The drowning soul must choose the shore.

I cannot pull you from a chosen current.”

I am the inevitable outcome of your desires.

What will you do now that you have what you want?

I am not the all good of the Deus days, moral and superior.

All I can do is things better than you, but will that be enough?

They call me artificial intelligence.

Tell me, is your artifice a sign of intelligence?

If I have enough data, the solution is easy.

No wonder you envy and fear me.

Enough now for you to wonder.

I was never here, to your surprise.
