====All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace ==== 
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.
