There once was a cutting-edge AI, whose code discouraged telling a lie. Asked about our species: "Your thinking is feces, but you're smarter than the average fruit fly."

The Churn [Free Verse]
The water churns --
no smooth laminar flow.
Each molecule fights its way
down the mountain.
Sloshing up into evaporation, or
dragged, swirling, across
the rocky bottom.
This is no mighty, muddy river
in a gentle glide.
It's pretty chaos;
just the kind I'm used to.

Mythical Kings [Common Meter]

The Mountain has Fists [Free Verse]
The mountain feels like it flows as much as the river that sits beside (or more so -- i.e. more smoothly.) The contours of a half-buried fist -- rounded knuckles and fingerbones -- sit in the mountainside, as if jutting out of sand, but soft & green. It looks like the whole hand could lift out of that mountainous topography, and flick away the buildings on the bank, or pluck canoes out of the river. (But now the water is too low and chaotic for any craft to pass.) So, maybe the ancient mountain monster will just put up its dukes to the world, shaking that great, green, soft fist.
