All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

Richard Brautigan

 

  • 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.
