A fascinating read. I Googled Kurzweill, and my first reaction was "OK, now the poem makes more sense." Then I re-read it and decided "No, that's not true. The poem stands on its own." I think our cyber/pop culture has reached a point where a reader, although he or she might have to think a little more about it, would realize how imaginative this poem really is. If you were thinking about a wider audience for this, I'd opt to not include the explanation at the end.

A well deserved "E"

This is brilliant writing

rather spare and refrained and yet every word counts and conveys astonishing imagery. I think what you've done--marrying erotica and science fiction--is not something I've seen done in a poem here before. And certainly it has not been done with such skill. Thanks for a great read.

My only quibble is that I agree with greenmountaineer that the explanation is unnecessary. Even if readers have only heard of the film "Her," for example, they should be able to get it. And the poem does stand on its own.
