I love these.
it’s not just in where one looks for found poems but how we look at them – and that takes a true poet’s eye.
Don’t we hope that this does not become an artifact discovered thousands of years from now and from which all our human-ness is judged?
Thank you! I cannot edit the post but I want to add link to the original text:

Not a single emotion in these poems. Maybe that is the point!!
This sounds like a sequence to build a computer program, which I had to learn how to do in college back in the 80s.
