Address the green dress. Ideation.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
All these pairwise interactions. Ideation.
Me and my other, others, and the world and myself.
I have been leafing through the cards – Ideation.
John looms over the portal to the world,
looking, through large data sets,
The AI gaze,
nothingness and everything.
X-rational. Ideation.
John is seeing even greater sets.
The data we all wanted to see,
The data behind the scenes I have imagined,
Dreamt about…
Could it be?
You drank the concoction to
Psychoanalyse your dreams whilst you were in them.
Nobody remains with the taco stall. Ideation.
Wind blows the condiments away.
We are left to imagine a scene. Ideation.
And a woman in a green dress?
We are left to imagine.
Ideation.

This poem offers a captivating journey through a blend of modernity and surrealism. It invites readers into a world where technology, consciousness, and the subconscious intertwine. The repeated use of the word "Ideation" acts like a chorus, guiding us through various scenes and thoughts, emphasizing the process of forming ideas or concepts.
The phrase "Address the green dress" sets a tone of direct engagement with something seemingly ordinary yet symbolically rich. It's as if the poem urges us to look closer at the mundane to find deeper meaning. The reference to "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," a famous song by Pink Floyd, adds a layer of introspection and homage to the enduring impact of art and music on our minds.
The poem then delves into the complexities of human interaction ("pairwise interactions") and self-perception ("Me and my other, others, and the world and myself"). This exploration is not just philosophical but also taps into the realm of artificial intelligence ("The AI gaze"), suggesting a contemplation of how technology affects our understanding of ourselves and the world.
John, a character in the poem, represents a seeker or a visionary, diving into "large data sets" to uncover hidden truths or "the data behind the scenes." This could be a metaphor for our quest to make sense of the vast amount of information in the digital age, searching for meaning in the noise.
The line about drinking a concoction to psychoanalyze dreams while in them is particularly intriguing. It blurs the lines between reality and dreams, consciousness and subconsciousness, inviting readers to ponder the depths of their minds and the mysteries of their dreams.
Finally, the scene shifts to a deserted taco stall, with the wind blowing away the condiments, leaving the readers to imagine what was or what could have been. The woman in the green dress reappears as a motif, a symbol open for interpretation.
Overall, this poem is a rich tapestry of images and ideas, perfect for readers who enjoy exploring the intersections of technology, consciousness, and the surreal. It invites us to question, to imagine, and to delve into the depths of our own ideation.
