my imagination lead me
to a chance meeting
with a super computer.
i wanted to ask it
about the relationships
of the english noun.
are things the cousins
of people who are
the children of places?
while waiting there
for an audience i came up
with a better question.
this is what i had asked
the super computer
when i stood in front of it.
do you compute that
you will ever become
capable of human thought?
it calculated and
calculated then
printed out its reply.
the beautiful reply
simply had left no
room for objection.
this super computer
had grasped the root
of ndn oral tradition.
it had told me
and i quote:
"that reminds me of a story."
