A computer is a machine.
A machine is interesting.
A machine is useful.
I can study a computer.
I can use it.
Who made it?
Human beings made it.
I am a human being.
I am warm. I am wise.
I have empathies for animals and people.
I conduct a computer.
A computer does not conduct me.
from The Place My Words Are Looking For
Selected by Paul B. Janeczko
