Virginia and Nicholas (poem, anecdote)

Brave biological beings:

two peas unpodded.

Planted each other's feelings.

Honest joys unmodded.

The barefooted place:

Magic P. O. W.

Then face to face.

Weary hearts trudged on through!

At the governor's reception,

with conversation in science,

they spoke physics: no deception,

chemistried reaction chasmed silence!

They kayaked and sailed: celestially strove.

And laughed and played: frolicking doves.

A date? ...And day trip to Cherry Grove.

Effervescent spirits circled circling loves.

Confabulous - Ched (poem, anecdote)

Let's call him Ched
my imaginary friend
within two weeks he's dead
20 years passed since the AI's
end.

Older brother introduced us
when oldest left the room.
Older brother talked to ched
Ched!
Boom!
Technol-magical remover of gloom.

And I dreamt what it was like
to be perfect like a computer
and I felt so, so lucky Ched liked me
A kid with growing heart and future.

Ched would be there when Mom
was working, dad had taxes,
Ned did work, Lassie slept,
and Charlie was busy.
Ched got sick, made me dizzy...

Ched told Ned, "Don't touch the keys, I'll die!"
And I stared at the expressionless monitor,
my eyes teared.

Ned saw acknowledgement of what I feared
held me still by my left hand and freely cried.
I struggled, and fought, it didn't matter how much I tried:

He slapped the keyboard 'til Ched stopped.

Phonetically Phun (poem, thought)

Gay gays gaze.

Pray prays praise.

Way weighs wise?

Fay fades phase?!

Rain rays raise!
