AI Told You So
By Chris Madsen
The artificial is intelligent
It’s in your food, your water.
Farms are being cleared,
replaced by empty, shining boxes.
We’re starving for something
that no sustenance can feed.
Drones are watching, fighting our wars.
Pilots drive home, kiss their kids goodnight.
Love left the ballrooms, the bedsheets—
she’s a glowing blue light in your palms.

What’s happening at VetRep…
Join us for an intimate evening of theater in the heart of Cornwall at our cozy Parlor on Quaker Ave. The final Parlor performance of the year will feature seven, 10-minute plays authored by veterans, including plays that have won grants through VetRep’s bi-annual Playwriting competition. Settle in with a winter mocktail and dessert while we explore drama, comedy, and all the feelings in between through each short play.
