Machines of Loving GraceI like to think (and the sooner the better!)
 of a cybernetic meadow
 where mammals and computers
 live together in mutually
 programming harmony
 like pure water
 touching clear sky.
 I like to think . . . . . . . .(right now, please!)
 of a cybernetic forest
 filled with pines and electronics
 where deer stroll peacefully
 past computers
 as if they were flowers
 with spinning blossoms.
 I like to think . . . . . . . (it has to be!)
 of a cybernetic ecology
 where we are free of our labors
 and joined back to nature,
 returned to our mammal
 brothers and sisters,
 and all watched over
 by machines of loving grace.
