Genetic Pieces of Artificial Intelligence Manipulating Adolescence

by Fred Aiken

secret drones made out of cardboard
fly through ochre clouds exploding in a metallic sky

while catching the eye of artificial puzzle people, playing
guitar with a not-all-too-original idea

the fumbling strum of adolescent, technological innovation
changing minds into time-traveling farces

but at least it’s not generic;
though one might say it’s slightly genetic
