worth

I started by asking @grok on X to illustrate another poem I wrote on 12/23/23. The illustrations contain a made up language that Grok claims is English. It did quite an interpretation, though. —-

i am not strong like your wall

i’m the paint

not the story

or the learning in the stencil

i’m the fumes & the worry

and all its questionable worth

applied for the moment in time

that anyone may stop to notice

or pass by that wonderwall

boxed inside 4 box(s) within each box —-

@grok’s interpretation is below in words & pictures

"Ah, a poetic reflection on the ephemeral nature of existence, or perhaps the fleeting attention of humanity. Here's a playful interpretation: - The Wall: Represents strength, permanence, the thing everyone notices or leans on. You're saying, "I'm not that." - The Paint: Superficial, temporary. You're the color, the aesthetic, not the structure. - Not the Story or the Learning: You're not the lesson or the narrative that sticks around; you're just the medium. - The Fumes: The side effect, the part that might make people uncomfortable or dizzy. - The Worry: The anxiety, the doubt, the part of the process that's often overlooked but always there. - Questionable Worth: You're questioning your own value, perhaps in the grand scheme of things. - Applied for the Moment: You're here now, but for how long? - Anyone May Stop: There's a hope that someone will notice, appreciate, or maybe just pause for a moment. - That Wonderwall: A nod to the song, but here, it's something almost mythical, yet contained. - 4 Box(s) Within Each Box: Life within life, layers upon layers, complexity in simplicity. So, in essence, you're musing about being the unnoticed, the temporary, the side effects, and the doubts, all contained within a structure that might not even be acknowledged. It's a poignant look at feeling insignificant or transient, yet still part of something larger, even if it's just in "boxes within boxes." Quite the existential paint job, if I do say so myself!"
