the system wants to peel off your skin
except I meet my own eyes
very good, my eyes are fleeing me!
now you enter the life that ignores you
an alien...the hustle and bustle of the streets
bones wrapped in meat
yes too much meat will break your bones
there must be a ratio between the bones and the weight of muscles you can bear
I want to look like a poet
poor man, "your parents were poor people", what a pity, what a bad luck, you didn't meet older poets at your parents' mansion...you have chosen a difficult path, recognition coming from the streets of....philadelphia

let me be clear Mister,
this poetry appears to me like it was written out of a comfort zone
it seems that you have been hurt by feelings and matters
more than you might have sensed it
I loved some short sequences
just to lift a thought reminds me how we become inert and inapt to think
poetry written in hard times like a recollection of sad memories
to paraphrase a sentence
the memory of a painful memory conveys yet pain

As Meridian I can figure out why Ecuador is used here...but the reason to use some single letters to justify Names is still out of reach for me now, I like that it has some hints that want me to know more
Equateur goes with Equal (days and nights of the same length)
Ecu is a type of money in gold there is no conversion between Europe and South America ?
is it right?

you get alway overrun by your sadness in a way, no time to complain..
sadness is related to weakness don't you think?
pain is something else, we don't handle the same amount of pain
sadness isnt' it more about emotional feelings when pain is more physical ?

I was struck by your history and the final decision

Where I A from, I don't know if you made this mistake on purpose
I am less and less I AM and more and more IA
it looks like you depicted an authentic American life, tough and rough no places for complaining
thank you

Thank you, my friend! A cowboy's life isn't very common anymore, yet it's so American—part of that enduring American spirit... You seem genuinely concerned about things we don’t see in cowboy movies, things of our time...

dear Lawrence, I have put your poem to get some feedbacks from deepseek
this is only a small fragment of its comment
Your poem *Misery* is a striking meditation on suffering, power, and the ambiguity of divine justice. The speaker contrasts two kinds of narratives—earthly malevolence and religious ecstasy—both of which seem to stem from a world governed by cruelty, whether infernal or divine. The poem’s skepticism toward traditional moral binaries (God vs. Satan, good vs. evil) gives it a provocative, almost blasphemous edge.
soon, how will we recognize a human comment from an AI one?
