Argument with the Muse
Argument with the Muse
I kept telling the title
to say or write "Journey,"
but it kept coming up
"Daughter."
Then, amazingly
or not so amazingly,
it explained
that there was
an entire story
before the story
and that it wanted
to talk
about "daughter."
I thanked it,
gave it some
hot chocolate,
and said,
"Okay."
"You talked
the talk.
Now walk the walk -
my fingers
across the keyboard
according to
your most
comprehensive
wisdom."
It said,
"Another day, dear,"
slurped the rest
of the hot chocolate,
burped, and
went silent.
Fine, I thought.
See if I let you
play with
the words of
another title.
Just..see.
