Ode To An Unknown Laptop

Tools are important for the learning process. An open mind and

acceptance of change also help.

In a box

somewhere on a shelf

you wait for me

while I gradually

come to my senses

reluctantly, bravely…

leaving the days of

Brother behind

when ingenuity in all its vividity was left

to a few.

The magic is now at the fingertips

of the masses

Big Brother is now the Internet,

social media…

But consider the computer

as a tool…

Those ideas we thought were only

in the heads of de Mille, Varda, …

are ours.

They are in us.

We just need to bring them out.

But first I must get you home

and take you

out of the box.

Success is often disguised as a sincere and humbled

attempt -

or so I would like to think.~crw
