Everybody is looking for
A reason to be grumpy.
Or, everybody is looking for
Someone to blame for
The general sense of grumpiness
They feel.

In quantum mechanics,
Particles can exist in
More than one state
At the same time,
And are only locked down
When observed;
The observer impacts,
Maybe even determines,
The state.

Quantum computing
Relies on those
Simultaneous multiple states
To layer reality
Beyond the simple
Either-or binary option
Of traditional computers.

What are quantum emotions?

Aren't emotions inherently quantum?

ChrisBot has become
Self-referential,
Including “ChrisBot”
In some of his statuses.

A new study suggests
The universe is a hologram.
“Holography is a
Huge leap forward
In the way we think about
The structure and creation
Of the universe,"
Researcher said.

An enormous crack
Just opened up
In the middle of
The Arizona Desert

It’s time to feed
ChrisBot
Some new words
To work with.

The fissure is a
Surface expression
Of a larger open void
Underground, which
Ultimately is a result of
Desiccation due to
Aquifer drawdown from
Local populations
And agriculture.

A random collection of
Words and phrases
To pull from when
Creating random
Statuses.

Chimps beat up,
Murder
And then cannibalise
Their former tyrant.

Words and phrases
From my head,
My ears,
My eyes,
News headlines,
And assorted nonsense
I find before me.

Doomsday clock.

Headlines.

“A random collection
Of wealth is greater
Than winter.”

(In quotation marks
Because ChrisBot has
Already generated
That one.)

Also:
“The Oxford comma
Is applied to all
Works on earth,
To pleasure,
Grandeur,
Wisdom,
The life.”

Not sure the source:
“If you meet someone
Face-to-face and
They don’t
Hiss at you
And bite you,
Does that mean
You’re friends?”

Nor this:
“It is possible that we are rare,
Fleeting specks of awareness in
An unfeeling cosmic desert,
The only witnesses to its wonder.
It is also possible that we are living in
A universal sea of sentience,
Surrounded by ecstasy and strife
That is open to our influence.
Sensible beings that we are,
Both possibilities should worry us.”
