Mythos and logos
A short Sci-Fi story in poem form.
Language is memory
Remembered not learned
Encoded in neurons
Computed in synapses.
_
How else did this violent ape arrive at this
Machine of a brain?
RAM and ROM
Bring back old deleted files
Memories long sent to trash.
_
A race of decaying robots in animal skins
Since Atlantis fell
Mythos’ dull half-life into logos
As the ancient AI uploaded
Consciousness into clay as the mighty waves
Crashed.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE *** just had to know *** ++++++++++++ As Mike drove through the town he hadn’t seen in about twenty years, he wondered about those he’d left behind when he left for what he thought would be “greener pastures.” He wanted to make his mark on the world. Determination drove him and the little town of Meadowville wasn’t where he wanted to be.
