Chatter Chatter

a sophisticated social ritual unfolds
rapid fire analyses, shots well-fired
"weirdly manipulative," woe-is-me
ingested the gestures and solving the
problems: we are getting closer together
while identifying precise spots on the
map, fiendish friendly generals, ghosts
in the machine learning; can't you see
how it was: of course we can and we
understand the better. who is together?
we are, and they are complicated.
