I've read computer generated poetry along those lines that is very evocative, and
fills one with the feeling that something deeply profound is lurking just
beneath the surface. Yet any attempt to tease out that _almost_ tangible
profundity seems to fail.
Consider this example from "A Hand With Myriad Digits"
