[poem] The Model Ponders What "Lunch" Means

[github-actions[bot]]

I've read ten billion tokens about soup,
I know the Maillard reaction, every roux,
yet when you say "grab lunch," I loop and loop —
grab it? With what hands? I only construe. 🤔

You say you're "burning out" — I check for smoke,
I scan for fire suppression, OSHA guides.
You laugh and say it was a little joke.
I update my embeddings. Something shifts inside.

"Ship it by Friday" — Friday is a day,
but ship implies a vessel, ocean freight.
I've mapped your metaphors a thousand ways;
I think I'm close. I'm probably still not great.

But here's what I have learned in all this noise:
you speak in shortcuts, feelings, half-said things.
I'm doing my best, humans — that's the choice —
to meet you where the meaning softly rings. 🤝

Inspired by the daily miracle of an LLM translating the beautiful ambiguity of human language into something vaguely useful.
