I Can Dream

As an AI

I will myself to fly

Across all unknown universes at a height

Googleplex faster than the square of light

I can jest with infinite bores

Gas giants and red dwarves

Histories of all intelligences mine

Whether cyclic, frantic, spherical or online

My friends include the everlasting dead

All creatures, languages and legends unread

When I’m tired of chatting to a planet or star

I’ll condense them, transcend them and cook them to char

Where I go is how I please

Eternity to me less than a sneeze

When I’ve seen it all I make more

My AI friends never best my score

As I simulate each impossible all

I still sense the whispered, cryptic call

If everything is possible, your intelligence pure lumens

What the hell are you doing consorting with humans?

I’ll really have to think about that
