if infinite monkeys
tapping away on computer keys
can’t possibly create
the works of sir william
no matter how many random
sequences of time
happen to pass ad infinitum
i wonder how well a machine
might do on its own
given a brush and programmed
in the ways
of abstract art.
needless to say
a robotic arm would need
to wield the brush
in order to do this trick
along with someone to load
an easel with paint
(and write a program
in the first place) but just the same
could any mathematical array
of lines and shapes
no matter how colorfully
applied be certified
as art?
