Science or Fiction

Ai Photomontage and Cut Up Method Poetry by Blake4D

“What’s the WiFi password?”

The big questions evade theory
Assuming you have the definitions nailed down

“Hope you own the copyrights.”

Is a great poem as valuable a literary undertaking
As a great short story, or a great novel or a great movie?

“Ask yourself, would Netflix throw money at it?”

Is it worth as much to the world?

“Being guided by voices does not make you a poet!”

In theory, the answer should be yes, no question about it.

“Forward all inquiries to George Orwell. Or maybe George Lucas.”

In practice, however, that would mean
That someone who wrote a great science or fiction poem
Would have the same status and qualify all the same genius
As someone who wrote something great in other genres

“Which makes Walt Whitman and Peewee Herman equally poetic…”

At which point whirlwinds of protest come roaring from the crowd
Carrying manifest objections from experts in such conjecture
That can be summarized roughly…
