“Take inspiration from this glossary of musical terms, or this glossary of art terminology, and write a poem that uses a new-to-you word.” (https://www.napowrimo.net/april-1-it-begins/)
Automatism
Automat
Auto
If ever there was an ism
to encapsulate our times
Car-addicted,
convenience obsessed,
So eager to offload our humanity
to AI,
algorithms
We’re making automatons
to take our place,
And making automatons
of ourselves
