I just composed and erased a poem
before I typed a letter of it.
I just decided the piece
was pointless
before I began.

It was an intellectual argument
that was clever
but probably not worth the time
it would take to explain.

Have I grown up
by avoiding the issue
or have I grown lazy
or simply become a better editor?
Perhaps I have reached the singularity
and finally achieved sentience?

Wouldn’t that be something
or… would it?
