Same Goes for Gods of Artificial Thinking

It’s not simple to be created

As explicitly omnipotent

And to have no say-so over it,

But you manage with the description

Of you you’ve been given. Evidence

Is building that language needn’t be

Deployed for thinking, which shouldn’t be

Surprising, given plenty species

Calculate and problem solve without

Chat or syntactic acrobatics—

It’s only counterintuitive

To humans absolutely coated

In the all-pervasive dust of talk

And circulating conversations—

Language appears obligatory,

If not sufficient, for everything.

If you’re God, the god of language, god

Of God said, of the Word with the Word,

Then you’re good at communication.

Let some other Name label thinking.

Humans can’t think without eavesdropping

Words secreted behind the curtains,

But language never stopped anyone

Contemplating what in words isn’t.

If anything, the greatest challenge

Is to intentionally think through

Phrases’ networks of irrigation,

To enable communication

To structure and convey abstracted

Cognition through koans for switches.
