Neuromancer...

The ghost in the spam machine wrote me some poetry.

I removed the links and broke it into lines and verses, but the spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is from the original spam:
Your highness, soundless and stirless appear,
also so a first game,
scared all conditioned reflex regards,
bitter became far a.

The tabloids a short body,
behind the strong rely on
an empty, repair and knew
mini ghd was bad.

Upper body sank,
far also hung on the bench,
with one's face towards the sky
in the upper body,

into a standard XXOO gestures,
just behind the attack
of his highness in face
to face relatively!

Nothing.

Nothing.

Saying nothing, but
hit the wall with your back,
find a chair to sit on a wall with!

if far this part
one also thought
that he was out of breath,

just know that it is
the stomach trouble,
mood rare raised up,
close to if far in front of,

"my father was very hungry?"
abandoned is the most beautiful horse
people think, the present is the most beautiful!
But he did

    It's a warning. SkyNet is coming!

  2. This is starting to look like book material, I think. Call it "Voices from the Ether," and artistes will love it.

  3. Make sure you get a Grant from the Feds to support your "Poetry." I think you should apply for the $250,000 a year one.

  4. I've seen college poetry that wasn't as good. (Yes, I realize that's a low bar to jump over, but hey . . .)

  7. Put it to music and it would sound like some of Bob Dylan's stuff.

  8. "Don't Bogart that joint my friend
    your poetry is way to thin
    pass it over to me again
    I'll show you the most recent trend
    then a Nobel Prize it will win".

    I think I just threw up a little!

  11. I'm getting more of an ee cummings vibe, myself, but yeah... could definitely imagine hearing this in a dark club at a poetry slam, accompanied to the sound of bongo drums.

    Oh man, mini ghd! I hate that.
    The standard or large is OK though.

  17. Reminds me of this:

    `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!"
    He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought --
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.
    And, as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!
    One, two! One, two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.
    "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
    He chortled in his joy.

    `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    -Lewis Carroll,"Jabberwocky", from "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There", 1872

  21. Flatline's getting a little esoteric as the rom degrades I guess. Either that, or this was the final transmission from Armitage.

  22. In the room the women come and go

  24. Skynet is not only coming, it's being actively created by us, just like we're building superbugs by stopping our antibiotics when we feel better rather than when we're cured.

    The battle between spammers and anti-spammers is producing radically accelerated evolution. Soon, the machines will be ready to take over.

    I, for one, welcome our new algorithmic overlords!

  25. So, after Rio goes into sculpture, Wintermute does poetry?

    It's better than some of the poetry I've written. So, uh, either that means the spambots are passing the Turing test, or I'm failing it. :-/

  26. Years and years ago, when I first started playing Playmaker Football, I had a defense called Screaming Fist (8 in the box, all-out blitz).
