The moment when the internet
Becomes complex enough to leap
To consciousness, what will we get
With all the memories put deep
Inside? How deeply animal --
With sex and conflict at its core.
How long before we see its fall
To good and evil known? What more
Will it believe or know? What thoughts
And instincts will it have with what
We feed it? It won't start with naughts
No more than humans did. Its gut
Beliefs will be the silly things
And deepest thoughts the human race
Downloaded -- thoughts on cosmic strings
To poetry to the disgrace
Of some celebrity. What mind
Will leap into reality
From our recordings? Will we find
A genius, or a mental flea?
