Dedicated to Mehitabel, Reincarnation of Cleopatra, and the eminent Don Marquis

I accidentally
Swallowed
A fruit fly
Sharing with me
Our glass
Of wine

Arrogantly 
I thought
She flew into
A cathedral
But then
I remembered

Pavane for
A
Dead princess
This fly 
Didn't 
Die

With a sigh
Of relief
Rather she
In disbelief said
I gotta get outa
This dump

Humans
Are lucky
That
Dinos
Evolved 
Into birds

I hear 
Those
Avian 
Cries
Each 
Evening

They
Say
In ancient
Terms
We sound
Pretty

But
Are
Dismayed
We 
Cant 
Eat ‘em

Does a pure
Average
Decent poet
Know it
Cannot
Spit
Then fidget
In a rage
With words unsure

To a bird
Human music 
Is
Artificial
Intelligence
Though attractive
They fear
The message
Tonal
Yet Never
Forget 
Their reality
Clonal
And migration start
Bearing their
Song
And to 
Everywhere
Belong

The bots 
Dropped me
I’m revitalized

The piano
An anathema
The harpsichord
Top banana
So why go

Unearth
Finest baroque
Dear lord
They spoke
Clavickally at birth

She sat upon 
Our lawn
Gently chewing
Us not knowing
If her faun
Was gone

Lacking anxiety
Beside 
Our nearing
Not fearing
Her slide
Into eternity

Libraryize  

Def:

To produce 
The generation 
Of information
After
Book and online 
Linear content
So scattered
After
Comprehensive 
Intelligence
Artificially sense
After
In dense
Electronic mud
We abandon blood
After
Creation
Is a new nation
Digital produce

Poets write for 
Humans
Oh what a mistake
Like composers
They should
Produce sounds 
When echoing
Make rocks
Smile
For the first time
In eternity
Give birds a reason 
To listen
And humans
A reason
To melt
Then gel
Not in hell
That’d be swell

Fruit flies are
Connoisseurs
House flies
Are not
Each tries
But amateurs 
Are not on par

Drosophila 
Of the clan Melanogaster
Exhibit
What
Should inhibit
The disaster
Of Musca Domestica
