Automatic

by David Wesley Anderson

Quiet. Listen to the street naked from the human condition away from our calculators, computers, and automatons. Where are you now without them? Hurry and find yourself before the stacking checking inspection begins. Would you price shop for a spot in heaven? Is it black and white in hell? Where is your manifest destiny? We have new G-O-D-S so catch a powerbook nap before the next sacrifice… will it be you? Will it be televised in 4K? I hope so.

About the author

To avoid redundancy, David often finds himself outdoors or visiting anywhere where he can easily open his mind to creating poetry. “I think your desk is more a state of mind than a physical place.” Whether it’s people-watching at a park, or reflecting over poems at a coffee shop, he’s a versatile writer. He finds romantic inspiration in a sunset as much as a coffee stain. “Writing is about perspective,” asserts Anderson, giving a nod to his upbringing overseas and learning about love through the various people he’s met in his life. Whether it’s his childhood in Brussels, Casablanca, and Nassau, or his travels to Bangkok, Manila, Seoul, and Hong Kong, David lets life influence his writing in a natural way. These days that life finds him enjoying the bustling streets of New York City, surrounded by a lively blend of people, cultures, and artists to keep his poems fresh.
