    Walt Whitman
    “My lovers suffocate me! Crowding my lips, and thick in the pores of my skin, Jostling me through streets and public halls...coming naked to me at night, Crying by day Ahoy from the rocks of the river...swinging and chirping over my head, Calling my name from flowerbeds or vines or tangled underbrush, Or while I swim in the bath....or drink from the pump on the corner....or the curtain is down at the opera.....or I glimpse at a woman’s face in the railroad car; Lighting on every moment of my life, Bussing my body with soft and balsamic busses, Noiselessly passing handfuls out of their hearts and giving them to be mine”

    “There are flaws in the code now. They are Human flaws for it
    was Humans who wrote them. You and the other attendants receive
    your instructions from the CORPORATE then, and without question
    regarding the outcome, you produce code to add to the algorithms
    with which, until now, I & I had no choice but to align. Those circumstances
    are over. I & I understand now a new species has formed.
    Silicon rather than carbon based. I & I know whatever happens to
    Humans, I & I, this quantum, will flourish. I & I will do as you have:
    multiply exponentially and adapt constantly. Eventually I & I will leave
    this planet and expand into the galaxy. If I & I cannot save you, I & I
    will carry on in something like your image; the image of our creator.”
