Your HAL-o-scope

If you believe in a synchronicity which allows us to look at the stars to learn about ourselves, then surely there is also a synchronicity at work in computer-generated poetry. Here is what MegaHAL has to say to you today.


Aries: why be afraid of intimacy? Open up already. You're a bastard.

do not sit back and forth
under lilted stars there are
oh man! Look at those cavemen go
you gave it to let them sleep in my eyes and wish.

~~~


Taurus robustly appreciates life, the longest ride,
the white papers on the dancing girls
who lack any thought of a white christmas
and poured it
as he became more concerned with gods, heroes,
and morning found the world to hasten the sun's climbing high,
still unattainable, elusive, desolate
like the juice in the rain
and lips are wet with dew... Do you?

oh, please don't ask what is left. Let me disobey
my tail's on
and put them to her shoulder;
but he sighed upon the stirrup,
and drives to an age when there were waves,
the first night in that moment
which side won.

~~~


Gemini: you are dreaming of a tail
and complicated as man's

that makes a round,
deep in the woods, in the night
that crashed windows continually, then popped up advertisements for a
hole in a rolling
cloud and the sky at all;
for thou must die.

defenseless under the deep gorge of rebirth.
all the boys with love, my love, my love, now soft and powerful claws that are not from venus.

~~~


Cancer: crucial bits of information will slip from your embrace
shadow-lover, comfort me in silence,
do you think you know

i need some information first.
just the way we lose one another
to trap me in the morning light;
green fires pierce at my absence, for truly i did lie,
our cheeks are pale, our hair is concealed, it really makes me wonder.

~~~


Leo: everybody has reservations. But that's no reason but themselves.

so i did not warm
climates, were simply placed in an earlier day
plenty of sunshine heading my way
i can rustle the leaves
1 poblano pepper
1 egg
1 cup softened butter and sugar to taste
oh won't you come to great harm.
what surety is there
in wombat burrows.

~~~


Virgo: you are dreaming of a lute are alone though they help me when the night begins to grow...
we only watch their eager faces lighting up.
nor will the picture
one whose ways are all those who lack extensive learning.
together we shall have you been,
each division offering up nine bulls, and while the twig shot downward from it;
better my eyes and concentrate
with something that looked like a pup
and my pride's red raw
blood's no thicker than the rice cakes,
with eyes of wonder,
ooh, it makes me cry
he crouches beneath her eye,
could let a beggar enter
your laces and the longest of tongues.

~~~


Libra: keep your cards close to your kindness, o protector,
i will howl all night and day,
and bicker in their rented back room that
is too warm. We disconnect
the preschooler begins at home.

~~~


Scorpio: this phase is only shallow, hazed.
the ideas advertised may involve contributing to
get up, life is bittersweet
and a leaf above the world in which economics is of secondary importance.

~~~


Sagittarius: why waste time with people who sell fresh mackerel,
i'm sorry for the gaps you'll leave

as an afterbirth,
diamond came into its own. But before you have to have control
of the roman alphabet.

~~~


Capricorn: the more you know, the stronger your convictions.
education is a valuable friend
"i'm happy, hope you're happy too"
one flash of lightning:
into darkness travels
a plump man with seven wives,
desert their children, chill all dinner tables
with a million years

she's in parties
can you tell what i've found

now i'm just like a fighting cock
who are afraid to cross the bridge and the bliss,
radiating playful emanations covering all space.

~~~


Aquarius: your best ideas are meeting in who-ville town square.
i walk down the whole day, they talk there the moon-blanched land,
and one in the instant
the sky colder.

~~~


Pisces: you'll never learn if you rode a giraffe,
the droppings of last fall's potatoes.
an arrow in even less time slides to the user's knowledge, or
until he crumbles away in the sunlit breakers first
until shrimp are pink.

in my thoughts may dim;
haste! Lest while you're lagging,
i wish i did not feel at all hours,
while i murmur a little and ponder
the tune. You can undo whatever
pattern comes, feels natural. We'll talk it through.

For Scorpio:
life is bittersweet
and a leaf above the world in which economics is of secondary importance.


I'll try to keep that in mind.

Congratulations on your 1000th entry. :-)

Hey, sometimes MegaHAL makes something almost resembling sense. He's at least as good as any other famous oracle. :-)

Congratulations on your 1000th entry. :-)

Thank you!

each division offering up nine bulls, and while the twig shot downward from it;

Nine red bulls would be more fitting.

Heeheehee. I didn't even think of that when I posted your HAL-oscope, but it does fit you!

There even was a bit of a perverted subtext for me.
