Whitman or Spambot?

It's time for today's round of  "Whitman or Spambot?"

Was the following written by the noted free verse poet or by a subroutine in a server in Shanghai?
Sit on overlooking
The noble grace of bearing
With different people
With different excuses to see
One can not help but ask
I sing the body electric, indeed...

  2. Whitman would have written, "One cannot help TO ask". So, spam.

  10. My dad liked poetry. I never cared for it. Sometimes I wonder why that is.
