Grand Central Station 1929
An Ekphrastic Pantoum Inspired By An Image
Introduction
This is a picture that can never be taken again, because of the buildings erected in New York that now block the sunshine.
I have not published a pantoum for a while, so that is what this will be.
The music is "Grand Central" by John Coltrane feat. Cannonball Adderley.

β Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? β Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

This is one sad but true poem. It is sad that progress takes away certain properties. Just imagine if this could happen again one day. Good job.
I love the fact you used so few unique words and yet created such an intense and airy atmosphere. It definitely matched up to the picture. Well done mate, this one is brilliant, definitely evoked a lot of sunshine and nostalgia and those moments of waiting for trains that we have endured universally <3 Beautiful x
