in this precious time
of vicious drones
we should try
to auspiciously find
whatever good
we audaciously can
midst all these groans
each barrage of moans
we should try
to keep in mind
those flying things
AI in kind
so reality is living
last year's science fiction
I don't know
is there any
contradiction
between living
engaged digitally
or committed to
some other
non-fiction
no matter what
living critically
those texts
you send out
in to some
fictitious universe
all messages
advantageously done
on your magic phone
just like
deleterious grenades
being delivered
by drones
capture that
next explosion
with that camera
inside your phone
while marshal drones
deliver explicit explosions
recaptured direction
Sumy and Kharkiv
such deep secrets
that Kherson mission
what AI gives
with its drone creation
how modern magic lives
astride our stunning phone relation
how modern prideful warfare thrives
with this humming drone invasion
