Sensing..

Do dogs smell colour
and does music have a breath
As well as depth?
Can dogs see invisibility between
galaxies
Merging spaces between our worlds
and the next
Spooks and shocks of every day
When screeching engines don’t even speak
Humans needing support and a hands
To hold
A fear frightful
Request turning inwards
Your dread feels white,
Cloaks us like a dagger
Covers living, like a sheet
Freshly cut grass has a taste
The scent of a ticking clock
Tender paws can do this
Shades of mauve, fifty trenches deep
Capturing, feeling, tasting
and holding, like a beacon
What their body stores
No encoding
The gentleness
In intricacies
that no senses, and nonsense, forgot
I didn’t want to be the person that laughed in the right places
To be polite.
In jobs I’ve had
But it’s easy for society to
cram you into that box
Side character in your own life
Things I wonder, genuinely
When you are trying to prove you are human
and the vortex needs to know you’re skin
and flesh
Not a chip
But, mortality that the world can actually bite?
And you have to identify the boxes with
the motorbikes, bridges, steps, cycles
Is it the person on them, or just the bike?
.
Does technology notice the rider?
Am I over-thinking the requirements
and has basic flown into flight?
Is it the section with, just, a small smidge
of the stairs?
Like the world, all the maybes and
Mights?
.
Are you climbing up logic’s ladder
Or waiting for someone to send a magic
sign?
It feels like a trial and error process
They want to know that I’m human
How much more obvious does this
make it
They want wizards and falsehoods
to lead us into their obscurity
Tech teaching us how we should be
spending our time
.
There’s no AI voice
That could ever question
Be so articulate, momentarily
Yet, when it comes to walls of denial
Feel so blind
There’s no AI that can’t be measured
Taking up heart and space
Contemplating it’s worthiness
While it robs your time
.
You are beaches, moonlight walks
and undulating inevitability
Accompanied by self-development
Learning, building
and by, ultimately, surprise
You are the ever-knowing
Your gut, your energy, feeling
The bots they want your questions
And tell you all, and how, you ‘should’
define
I ask you again, when it comes to
reality checks
Is it just the centre of the bridge
Or the pillars on either side?!
