All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace Poem by Richard Brautigan

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

Rating: 3.2


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.

My teacher assigned this crappy website which I can't even look at without a popup ad coming up every ten seconds. THIS WEBSITE SUCKS! ! ! !

This came to me as I was about to do a sleep study hooked up to 20? electrodes and a Continuous Positive Air Pressure machine for a sleep study to be watched all night by nursing or technical staff and Machines of Loving Grace.
