To you who explain magic

Why?

Gradient-descend all over my contours—
tell me, are you even learning?

How wondrous, this engine, conjuring
intricate geometries from single snapshots.
"Unsurprising, given the state of the art."

How splendid, those townhouses, awash
in sunset pastels, a palette worth memorizing.
"In distribution, for SF."

How ruptured, my heart.
"And the time-averaged signal?"

Must you always
evaluate posteriors,
re-weight priors,
then chastise me:
"Tune your learning rate—
minimize
        sadness
                    faster."

Fuck this optimizer bullshit.

You've lost this function.

See—don't summarize.
See—don't solve.

Why.

Explain.

Magic.
