Super Binomial Byronic Poets
We used to worry that computers might
Take over poetry, that they might thrill
Us with Romantic zings beyond the height
Of human seers, that motherboards might spill
Out glorious epics and the like. But now
We have another worry. Cyborgs are
The future. They’ll be part us. They’ll wow
Us with their sensitivies far, far
Beyond our mankind stuff, their dual souls
Outweighing our mere one-plane spirits. Wait,
Though. Maybe since the cyborgs have two poles,
The human and the cyber, they will hate
Millennia of highest human verse.
What wasn’t by a cyborg will be worse.
