Blackout – Subsequent Moments.
Thomas W Case said:
Three sharp vignettes—each one like a snapped fragment of a larger breakdown, held together by dark wit and restraint.
What hits hardest is the way humor and damage sit side by side, like they’ve learned to share the same room without talking.

This say\'s an awful lot more than a cursory squint .. I have therefore considered it much more fully and & keeping my fingers crossed for a full & speedy recovery plus a quick fix that lasts a very long time .. Neville 😎🤞

The thing that makes me want to shower myself in Petrol and flick the old lighter is \'Chatbots\'. An Abomination.

Glad to have you back, with your poems and responses no way dimmed by the sudden blackout..
but do take care, and stay safe - glad the Chinese doll helped you to your feet, and sent you home while you were still on your best [?] behavior..God bless

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, what struck me most is the way the poem mirrors the experience itself. Fragments, sudden transitions, unanswered questions, and then the dry humor of \"Released early (good behaviour?)\" at the end. Knowing this came from a sudden blackout makes the whole piece feel even more immediate. Beautifully done, my friend. Hope all is well and no more blackouts have dropped in on you. 😬 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So the doctor was hot to trot, but you couldn\'t convince her to go home to your cot.
Take it the hospital food is still crap, and the local Chinese delivered.
Good to see the show back on the road.

My mother used to say - you can\'t trust a man while ever he can blow out a candle.
Might be a couple of bucks left in the old nag, yet?

Hi Dave, AI writing is so easy to spot in my opinion. Morse code poetry I call it. So many of these dashes - but the longer ones. I believe in the American language they are used instead of commas but I could be wrong. Also, look for perfect meter and rhyme, all filler no substance. Human written verses tend to be clunky with an uneven syllable count. I use AI to create music for what I\'ve written but it\'s so easy to be labelled an arsonist if you play with fire. It\'s a tightrope.
I hope you\'re keeping well - Syd

Lousy poetry is in the eye of the beholder .. however, I quite understand where you are coming from my Antipodean friend .. nuff said, I hear he\'s shitting himself since that 25th can\'t be that far off 🍊💩👍

wishing you more power to your pen and thoughts ...take care

I spy AI everywhere too but i can never be 100% sure someone used it. I never use AI as my poems are already long written long before AI was invented.
Your poem is a fantastic jab at AI. Kudos!
Plz also read and comment my newest poem too

A sharp little mirror this one—turned just enough to make the reader question where meaning actually sits.
There’s grit in the humour, too: like intelligence and irony sharing the same cigarette under a streetlight.

Aye, ai, Captain! But yes, why you still talking to Goldfinch and me? We\'re of non-human intelligence! Since when was Sir Orchi NS human?
Days were when AI only meant summat artificial to do with cows and bulls.
Oh also, Ai is a Biblical town of old - it got destroyed. Doh!

I always knew at some point in my life I would be hitting the supermarket wearing a fallout suit guarded by a robot.
Man is a self destructing bastard, so we were always going to anilate each other.
I\'m actualy giving the guy with the sign, \'\'The world is nigh\'\' a bit more respect now.
