TRUTH IN RANDOMNESS

I was just checking out this random poetry generator. You can enter a few variables like number of words per line and number of lines per poem, along with a couple of dubious sliding-scale values like "thematic coherence," and it'll usually come back with something that's obviously the product of randomness. But there's something enjoyably stimulating about it, an unexpectedness of words colliding in chaotic ways. It's like letting language out of the limiting cage of structure and meaning and watching it roam around freely.

And once in a while it produces a beautiful fluke, the digital equivalent of an infinite number of chimps hammering away on an infinite number of typewriters. Here's one I found particularly amusing:

cognitive psychologists talk
& people don't

Kinda just sums up the world we live in, doesn't it?
