I gotta say I am both intrigued and flummoxed by this poem. It appears that there are either two or three people engaged in a conversation which makes perfect sense to them, but not to me. Given the title, I have strong preconceptions for the poem which don’t seem to be met. Perhaps I am taking the reference to Povich wrongly.
I also question whether Maury is even one of the speakers.
Stanza 2 - is that about Sinatra being cloned?
S.3 - is that about digital insemination?
I get the Bayes reference, neural nets, pashas, etc. But N? NP? Application or relevance of SQL? I don’t take umbrage at the fact of what appears to be the generous seeding of jargon. I realize there are lots of gaps in my knowledge and I am usually comfortable having to google something to understand some elements of a poem.
For this poem, however, google didn’t enlighten me, didn’t fill in the gaps. For that reason, much of this is beyond me.
Sorry.
