Big Data Surreal Poem by Marcel Aouizerate

Big Data Surreal



The dispute has been settled right away:
Mi data es su data.

Make way now for
A theory of dukes proud of how
The sewing machine may meet with the umbrella
On the operating table,
And how would correlate:

US spending on science, space, and technology, and
Suicides by hanging, strangulation and suffocation
Number people who drowned by falling into a swimming-pool, and
Number of films Nicolas Cage appeared in
Per capita consumption of cheese (US) , and
Number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets
Age of Miss America, and
Murders by steam, hot vapours and hot objects
Divorce rate in Maine, and
Per capita consumption of margarine (US)
US crude oil imports from Norway, and
Drivers killed in collision with railway train
Per capita consumption of eggs (US) , and
Drivers killed in non collision transport accident
Total number of Political Action Committees (US) , and
People who died by falling out of their wheelchair
Worldwide non-commercial space launches, and
Sociology doctorates awarded (US)
Number people who drowned while in a swimming-pool, and
Power generated by nuclear power plants (US)

Everyone says of course, correlation is not causation
But there is also the greater good, frustrating
Impediments in the way of efficiency,
All that rises must come down
All that computes must correlate.
