schools and prisons -
too forceful?
a sign that our society
lacks creative ideas
on how to weave and integrate
foreign singular intelligences
into the fabric of our society?

someday
we will have to guard our phonecalls with a
"do not record this message or intention"
if we don't want them copied
or else the corporations will record
the sound, rhythm, inflection of our speech and breath
and will then model it
and sell it
to adventurers
who wish to try on another one's perspective
which we will find is completely foreign
perhaps all it will take to really know an Other
is to subscribe to their rhythms
to breathe their breath
and so on
perhaps suffocating
perhaps frightening
