Artificiality

Benjamin Niespodziany | Poetry

The marketing meeting 
recommends we consult 
with the robots and the robots 
recommend we take action 
when it comes to strategy 
and the strategy recommends 
we rollout and the rollout 
recommends we pump the brakes 
and lean in to the activation 
campaign and the activation 
campaign recommends we 
consult with the robots and the 
robots recommend we check 
with our bosses before making 
any drastic decisions and our 
bosses ask their bosses to see 
about this drastic decisions 
but our boss’ bosses are out 
for the month in Cabo or on 
a walk around a lake we can’t 
pronounce or at the mouth 
of a cave known for its exquisite 
price of entry or somehow 
in an abandoned shopping mall 
with six interns filming 
an avant-garde video they hope 
will go viral as recommended 
by the robots we all call God.
