7. Poetry by Brian LeBansky
Mow the lawn would you? & other poems
Mow the lawn would you?
Neuralink sent the program
Optimus received
What game do you choose?
AGI wanted to know
that will be your world
five hundred more years
an unparalleled lifespan
healthy as twenty

Brian LeBansky recently retired from teaching science at the high school level. He enjoys playing music and writing songs. He has written fan fiction for his YouTube channel and wrote some poetry while in college, but lately haiku and scifaiku have been keeping him busy and entertained. While a doctoral student at Texas A&M University in College Station, Brian separated a protein (purple acid phosphatase) from the other 42 million proteins in the cell, chemically characterized it, and published the results. Click on Plant Physiology, one of the science journals in which the paper was published, to read more. Brian’s poetry has appeared in the debut issues of The Starlight SciFaiku Review, The Flying Saucer Poetry Review and The Space Cadet Science Fiction Review.
