Auto Correct

What if Google should start adjusting numbers and not just our grammar... 

When I write a letter,

it’s really absurd—

Google knows better,

and edits my words.

 

But if numbers were mangled,

oh heavens, beware!

The rockets would dangle

mid-countdown, mid-air.

 

NASA would stumble,

the countdown would stall,

Armstrong would fumble,

no leap there at all.

 

Instead of the textbooks,

instead of the lore,

his face on a carton,

in 64.

 

So beware the machine

that insists it knows best—

for a poem misaligned

is a moon misaddressed.

 

 

Just my opinion, but I can see someone taking AI to court.

Good-luck I say.
