Here is a vending-machine poem by Cathryn Cofell, based on a text file of words randomly selected from Really System issues 1-5.
IMPATIENT
Intent negotiable half-formed
obviate beach memories
fifty year-old systems as cellophane
name as aura as torch
engulfs you in swoon falls
in hot waves larger than
plain grammar obtained
death tired corvid
