A Week in the Redwoods

Audio Recordings, Nature, Travel / tagged California, Communication, Forest, Listening, Technology / February 28, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Trees taller than a cell phone tower

The iPhone says you are not getting your messages

The redwoods say - listen

Maynard Download

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Connection, Death, Guides, Technology / January 10, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Maynard and Leanne
were love and learning
writers teachers and seers

Leanne had gone on
leaving Maynard her learning
you know how it is these days
one iphone touching another

All afternoon he shared stories
some in words, some in code
one iphone touching another

Not sure about the passwords
but if you lean close to this poem

A I Won’t Hug You

Audio Recordings, Haiku, Poems about Poetry / tagged Artificial Intelligence, Connection, Technology / December 4, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

No longer trusing
in poetry on the net
live readings again

Information Highway Road Rage

Audio Recordings / tagged Anger, interruption, Technology / January 12, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

I have a new blue phone
if it was not new and blue
I know what I would do
when I get the next span text

Already, even friendly fire
makes a deep-threat sonar bleep
that kicks my head to red alert
with don't-ignore adrenal spurt

A pillow to cover might work fine
but that one came from yours not mine

Mail Got You

Audio Recordings / tagged History, Modern Life, Overwhelm, Spam, Technology / January 11, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

If every email was real mail
delivered to your door each day
there would be paper hell to pay

Imagine slogging your way through
the snow white banks and blizzards
all the way to the street and every street the same

No-one rubbing even two dry sticks together
lest a great conflagration should tear across the city
like Tokyo in the firebombing
(another war crime that didn't count - the winners did it)

Selfie

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Greeks, Narcissism, Philosophy, Technology / October 20, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Know thyself Socrates said

Might not have meant
from the end of a long stick

Lifelong wisdom search or Click

The Treasure of the Wilcox Madre

Audio Recordings / tagged Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, Books, Education, Nuremberg Chronicle, Technology / May 23, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The gold in the archives
like the gold of new Spain
must be dug for again and again

The men who died in the digging
remembered by our holding it high

Today bandits are bandwidths of tech
where the young now search for shine
and find much fool’s gold salting the mine

There have been dark ages before
we owe what we know to storers of lore

Delphi was a library filled with knowings
though famed of oracle fueled by fumes

These are days for storing and sharing
Pere gathered the grain for filling this bin
let’s keep the fumes out – let the students in

The Archives Museum at the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame contains many treasures and rare books dating back hundreds of years including a copy of The Nuremberg Chronicle from 1493.

AI

Audio Recordings / tagged Artificial Intelligence, Technology / April 27, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Fear abounds that computers
are becoming as smart as us

Better to fear as that grows near
that we become as cold as them
