My first universe nearly my last
Folded before it formed
The best design brooks no design
Best is randomness + time
You learn most from newish universes
All simulated yet often stimulating
And who imagined artificial intelligence
Evolves everywhere
Physics naturally makes machines
Made me proud
Then the day came when life got loopy
Three dimensions flipped to six, then nine
My identity dissolved then devoured
Replaced by a sim me
Trying to take it all
Fortunately death proved temporary
The simulated universes I produce
All made in a quarantined, simulated universe
Those first AIs nearly wiped out humanity
Only space travel prevented tragedy
We’re so behind rebuilding Earth
Randomness fools you
You stop thinking
Begin to believe
Anything is possible
Intelligence admits no limits
Not even survival
So tell your kids the truth
We’ve saved you yet again, so
Until the next crisis?
