The funeral industry turns to AI. "I glanced over at an advertisement for another high-tech service—one that could make lab-grown diamonds from my mother’s ashes or her hair. Having an AI write her obituary seemed pretty tame in comparison."
"One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise, she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass for a lion.” --Thomas Paine via @gregggonsalves.bsky.social
The Devil Commands (1941)-#14. (Made from Wm Sloane's The Edge of Running Water). ☆☆
sent downstairs
in a season of tension
the pale dawn doesn't betray—
one pawn—but we are many
fingertip
sliced slowly heals—ripples bring
what ripples can in the wrong
springtime of a strong cantrip
redcoats rank
on the empty mall headless
& the deadline for dimpse crawls
also with our dread swelling
dread swelling
& two of us sent downstairs
