Paris (1985) (Poem by Clara B. Jones)

Paris (1985)

"My greatest regret in life is that I was not born someone else." Woody Allen

Oksana Boyko's cost analysis showed AI

is efficient since growth depends on

psychic shifts (and global stability) though

a wave of terrorism has raised alarm. Inflation

is part of the game, but progress can't

be made with martial zeal alone. The

web of proxy power depends on fembots,

and you are determined to expose 

false claims, but there is a chance of system

failure and loss of ice on Earth. You know

there is no free lunch, and French corporations

reap rewards of Europe's markets while Barbara

makes boredom sculptures and text art displayed

in Sean's gallery ruling symbolically and

materially, showing you that fear controls both the

marginalized and elite. You have always been

drawn to men who are sensible and fearless,

using their frontal lobes to negotiate deals, so

you know that morality is an overlay

preventing exposure to the toxic effects of dendrobatids.
