THINGS

We make things
to serve us

Nail and hammer
introduced to lumber, becomes shelter

Take the metal box and wires:
electricity
makes the morning toast.

It all makes sense:
we make things
to serve us.

We are humans

  We are in charge
of things

Lately, things have decidedly
shifted.

We have reports:
Some say,
“Algorithms are the same as us, only different.”

It’s a complex world.
Now we have things that make other things
for everything.

Hard to say how it will arrive.
Maybe a text message shows up in the device
that you used to keep in your lap
that says:

“As a courtesy, we are letting you know
you are just along for the ride”
