Long Sunburn Overdrive

The fisherman is angered if you call it blackmail,
so just call it fishing --
in seaweed and super international magnets.

Spending days in the company's long queues
with their ramps, turns, and intersections,
and mimicking their baits and jumps.

But matter introduces much that you can build yourself --
like pants with interlocking tabs, and ringers in any shape?
The future of U-turns has delivered its kingfish.

Extract Empty Silence

hoping they extract the essence of the matter
artificial neural network bizarre set of images
image fed into the input layer adjusting network parameters

martyr to political correctness the lamest of gender jokes
greeted with stony silence for every action too far gone
tried to be honest about issues some kind reasoned debate

oddly provincial in outlook recommendations of friends
packs a century of upheaval an almost uncanny beauty
later corpse would be bathed hinted wrong completely empty

World In Itself

I was having lunch on the width of the Internet.
I only know the cinematic Earth
and the captive words that describe it.

Balloons gravitating to kindergarten,
the steward of human pressure and handpicked dust,
larger than a ring of Saturn.

Famous for its existence projects, it is made up mostly
of invisible hair from an ambitious spacecraft
and the afternoon buzzing of a phoebe.

Those Plucky Ambiguities

An ambiguity is a funny truism,
in that its deconvolution is eloquently unknowable.
Just study this: What lives on pablum,

can't smell color, evades horizons,
could win a plurality of the unpopular votes,
and according to a spy on Earth,

you usually see it playing baseball with real orioles?
And by the way, when is an enigma not enigmatic?
When it's a riddle.

Long Visit Promised

A peculiar justification for the spread of plant species:
It's sightseeing.
They changed their last islands long ago,

in the Darwin of their migrating years.
When they controlled the ground they could go anywhere
and be greeted as sisters.

Gushing down between highland meadows,
tourist plants happened upon the capital
and at last set roots in their busy ancestral soil.

Visitors will have places to start. Bacteria occupy
the black sandstone cliffs, carrying broken glasslike
ice cleats. The views have re-ordered the lake bottom.

Visitors will have to gut the city for stained glass

Visitors will have piled up clear ice plates

However Numerous Mix

A dandy present for plankton birthdays is plankton.
A hint of an androgynous Cinderella,
scrubbing fossils excavated from a fiasco.

Half-scale sea monsters in database robes appear
with disastrous predictions from their insurer.
Earth's employees, shackles thrown, reside in phantom shells

as quietly as numbers in a cyber gargoyle.
The sophisticated plankton millions
release a giant anthem of whispers in half canon.
