But is it art?
What do you mean?
Well, it’s not really real.
Sorry?
It has been generated with software.
It’s not surreal, no. It’s very realistic.
Now that I understand. I could munch some fruit in there.
That bit of banana is beautiful, isn’t it?
And that mug of coffee looks hot.
That old photo looks interesting too.
I like the way that artist is working outside.
It’s called en plein air
Ooh, impressive.
You know there is a market for buying crypto-art?
You don’t say?
Yep, it’s called Non Fungible Tokens.
Well, all I can say is… blimey!

There’s a lot going on in that photo, and in your poem, Chris! An artful poem. 🙂

Are Non Fungible Tokens still a “thing”? I haven’t heard anything about them in the past few years.

I heard something on the radio this week, but I didn’t listen properly. So I had a little look on Google. It’s still around but not for me, but it was useful to add something on my post here!

What’s real and what isn’t? It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost impossible to tell …. and I don’t think that’s a good thing. I enjoyed the dialogue in your story, Chris. Nicely done.
