Euclid and East 18th

The Price building used to be there Tracking our history to 1967 We would rebuild We met in the basement of an old church The Second Baptist Euclid Avenue  Where Rockefeller organized Sunday school It was hard to know which wall was from which building But underground we became one place Ivan watched from his perch the hallways twirl Bigger, better, newer's high water mark was in the nineties We built a brand new building with no green features We studied sustainability in the opposite We talked about what we would put on the corner There where there is nothing now Just down the street from the wealth of nations statue Adam Smith immortalized in front of the business school We left an empty space where a church once was There should be something about sustainability I was in the conversation up to 2003 Our class left and seldom looked back They each do that Hough burned in 1966 And set a fire on this corner

Compute

Words can be demons hiding what we know Computer power is what we used to talk about Every third word we need more compute They sell to each other hoping to create super intelligence It would not work if they told investors the truth They want more computer power than anyone Compute is as cute as whatever muse you have We knew proteins folded We needed more computer power to figure out how We think there is a structure to the primes All this compute and nothing The flaws in our reasoning are in the training data I teach small children and I dream of prime numbers One of them will see it Either the end of science Or our new road There is a structure or there is not Either case equally satisfying Sustainability an Angel word

It was hard to hear So not a scientific word Not everything can be answered Her daughter was five years old Everything is good Only decisions are bad She don't want to hear Justice joy can bring Good things are easier to see Without foundation survives There is a probable outcome We should be safe There are variables that bring danger Much like rogue llms Predicting the next word A village burned down also warm She called her a demon Hard to tell her she is wrong

Oh My Liver

There are markers in life Some times remembered more Family takes many forms My Father did not know much but he knew a few things Her Grandmother was my Great Grandmother Always happy when I saw her We always saw her My Father he knew a few things Their stories were of Florida and youth Money bags Eller following around To all the penny gumball machines Everyone chewed gum but lived in different places Segregation and the south built the north Dreams of eternal summer vacation Meets the day Grandma's house I knew Great Grandma's apartment Sharon most of her world I visted often She was the first who ever wrote to me as a person We shared this feeling in our heart She gave it a name An old one when she was happy Nothing lives without it
