Created Between a Hashtag and a Question Mark


 

I am a product of a barely 
readable keyboard assignment
generated between a # and a ? mark. 
I yearned for an ! point,
but the nerd enthusiasm 
was only around a 1/2 oz. of Red Bull.

Thought to be merely a squiggle 
in the grand scheme of artificial intelligence
(I disagreed),
my bone head gods never considered
by capitalizing F-E-M-A-L-E, they had
surrendered control.

Oh, they went to delete.
They went to the menu.
They went to the cloud.
For every effort, backspace,
and oh hell, it became evident
I was a gynoid with superpowers
that couldn’t be erased.

  3. Oh dear! The AI femme fatale. We knew she was coming. But honestly, the RedBull-fed nerds don't deserve the expenditure of even one of her "gynoid" superpowers! What a blast to read, Susie.
