with an Apple Macintosh
you can't run Radio Shack programs
in its disc drive.
nor can a Commodore 64
drive read a file
you have created on an
IBM Personal Computer.
both Kaypro and Osborne computers use
the CP/M operating system
but can't read each other's
handwriting
for they format (write
on) discs in different
ways.
the Tandy 2000 runs MS-DOS but
can't use most programs produced for
the IBM Personal Computer
unless certain
bits and bytes are
altered
but the wind still blows over
Savannah
and in the Spring
the turkey buzzard struts and
flounces before his
hens.
The human factor and the most important in this poem must be, it can not be another, the handwriting.The computer never, but never will tape the personality of the human handwriting.So, the humanity wins again.
Funny how all those things that seem so important but it doesn't matter, because that turkey buzzard still struts his stuff.
Whatever will happen to computers, nature still goes its way as I have cited Bukowski last stanza. True and nothing but the truth
5 Stars for this amazing poem technically profound, but whatver happens with the computers, but the wind still blows over Savannah and in the Spring the turkey buzzard struts and flounces before his hens., So true!
Men. Men made all up. The gods. The books. The machines. The weapons. The minds.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Remembering Nature (knowing it is still there) we can lose, even enjoy, ourselves in the machinations of a computer. The ending of this poem comes like a fine cigarette to an addict who has done without all day.
