As I was driving by Neptune’s crowd, Rome
I received a phone call from Charles Babbage’s friend
– What’s you favorite color, she asked
– What is it some kind of a test ? Blue’s nobody eye color, milady.
– Please kid, stop playing cool, we’d like to know
Whether you’re just a neat pack of lies ;
It is a Turing test all right : are you human or
Are you not ?
I pulled over before entering the tunnel
Which twists through beneath the ruins
And heard me saying
« Not an easy question, ask Byron for one.
Truth be told, one can only tell at the end »
When I actually thought :
There’s no way to convince anyone
But if I shuffle stuff long enough in the glove box,
Surely I’ll find the map showing a way forward
Or a way home.
