AI swallows myths we feed it: that’s how

it pretends to be human.

Christopher Columbus. Robert E Lee.

Statues now torn down.

Salud to red wine! To live long!

1998: 1 in 10,000 children have autism.

2024: 1 in 36 children have autism.

Strip the myths, like husks off

corn. To reach the kernels.

Light looks white––indisputable. 

A prism frees the colors.

Broken bottles in the ocean

soften into sea glass.

Don’t worry, I tell myself. I still may have

the last word. The silenced often do.
