untitled senryū chain

. . . it’s weird to me that I can publish things without titles.

But you can do that with poetry! And in fact it’s entirely common with senryū — a Japanese verse form with the same broad shape as haiku, but without the same topical and structural requirements. In this case I wrote a series of senryū on a linked subject, hence calling it a “chain.” Of course, the lack of title means you have no hint as to what the poem is about, so I will note that it has to do with the importance of real experiences that cannot be faked by the technology currently masquerading as AI.

And it has been purchased by Foofaraw! I will update here when it comes out.
