“All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace”
by Richard Brautigan
1967
***
- I 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.
