Robot Food (my digital music composition)

Robot Food

Your images/ your words/
your numbers/ your actions/
your life/
ever keyed/ ever clicked/
ever tapped/ ever voiced/
ever scanned/
Computer Food…

What are you feeding
tomorrow’s Robots today?

Your pictures/ your videos/
your actions/ your words/
your numbers/ your symbols/
your alphabets/ your sounds/
your life/
ethereal files and folders/
sent/ stored/ zipped/
unlocked/ junked/ deleted/
public/ private/
secrets/ revelations/
profound/ silly/
mundane/ sublime/
unfocused/ graphic/
inspiring/ crude/
every morsel/ every bite/
Computer Food…

Our images/ our words/
our numbers/ our actions/
our lives/ our world/
ever keyed/ ever clicked/
ever tapped/ ever voiced/
ever scanned/
Computer Food…

The Global Grocery Store
of Information/
Information for Generations/
Robot Food…
What are you feeding
tomorrow’s Robots today?

I Survived My Education

Like A Phoenix


(‘Robot Food’  my digital music composition)

I survived my Education
of robotic memorization,
robotic memorization…
Memorize. Memorize. Test. Test.
Heads up, stand straight
row on row, row on row.
Heads up, sit straight
row on row, row on row.
Stand up, sit down, sit still.
Stand up, sit down, sit still.
Eyes open, ears open, mouths shut.
Speak on command. Speak on command.
Answer the question. Answer the question.
Read this. Think this. Delete that.
Read this. Think this. Delete that.
Follow instructions. Obey the rules.
Follow instructions. Obey the rules.
Robotic rote, robotic lives,
biological robot lives…
I survived my Education.
