Below, a lovely pair of vintage computer exercises —
something like humans helping computers appear as human.
“The Policeman’s Beard is Half Constructed: Computer Prose and Poetry by Racter”
— The First Book Ever Written by a Computer, 1984
In a half bright sky
An insect wraps and winds
A chain, a thread, a cable
Around the sphere of water.
From water and from time
A visage bounds and tumbles
I seek sleep and need repose
But miss the quiet movement
Of my dreams.
Night sky and fields of black
A flat cracked surface and a building
She reflects an image in a glass
She does not see, she does not watch.
