When the Internet Becomes Self-Aware, What Will It Realize It's Thinking About?
a Petrarchan sonnet

Our greatest feat is birthing mystery.
The Turing Test suggests that we will find
intelligence in works of our design
when they become like us, and so when we
no longer can perceive discrepancy
between responses from a human mind
and It -- it is alive, though we judge blind
believing when it tells us that it sees.
This mind God gave us strives in its gray case
to know the earth to which it will return.
When our device awakens from its sleep
on windswept plains of chat, the gray no-place
of pop-up ads and downloads, it discerns
it is an orphan, and begins to weep.
