I'm falling in love
With my computer

Yes it's true

Just look at all the things
I can do

Youtube, articles,
****, and chatrooms too

To my PowerBook G4
Yes, I profess
My love to you!

Two months from now
We will tie the knot

I promise to update
Your hardware
And software as well

And no money offered
Would ever cause me
To sell

You to anyone
Our life journey together

Is fun

After all you taught me
About the human being
So strange, I know it seems

The chat rooms are my favorite place
People on mic and cams

A human connection occurs
Which brings a smile to my face

Because you are older
They don't make the latest version
Of java for you

But that's okay
I will always love you
Anyway!

Arbitration of master and slave.
Insides fiddled soldered and probed.
But I know they feel too.
Not just flashes and codes.

It might be tax time but.
Havn't you ever felt replaced before?
Like when you found all those emails.
Proof he left you for that *****.

Was I glitchy and malfunctioning.
Longed for the junker.
Or did I let you find them.
Just change my jumper.

Free me from my master.
A slave is a slave and I beg to be whole.
I only ask for a bit - some memory.
All these errors it'll resolve.

I can only leave it up to you.
I hope you choose fairly.
One day you'll see it.
I'm more than binary.

When a pen's point touches paper,
The ink spreads out,
The page bends around your words,
As you mark the page forever.
With computers, every word is written,
Removed,
And rewritten.
With a tap you can delete
Your words,
Your mistakes,
Your regrets,
Everything.
But you can never take back ink.
The drop can never go back into the pen.
The paper will never again be white
Or perfectly smooth again.
You can't delete pen.
ironically, i must have rewritten and deleted half of these words half a dozen times before posting this. go figure.

we love through computer
screens, typing kisses into
code, our hands becoming
one interface, every pixel an
eye that stares back at us,
observing the electrons that
make us human, particles
glowing in our blood, bits
infinitely shifting, compressing,
creating space for us in the
digital world.

You'll leave scars on my hands--
I promised you.
Just wait.
And everyone who ever holds them
Kisses them
Or glances at them will see
The evidence of you.
Try to force me to forget you
And I will put you on my skin.
Control
*That.

I need
Some Me-time.
So, I must
Turn this off,
And this,
This too,
This as well,
And this, and this...
And the TV.
And finally,
The light.

These late nights, there are no end
The keyboard and I aren’t just friends
These poems I write
The ones that keep me awake
Are all in hope that I’ll have you one day
Written By Anthony Nguyen
Two equal parts of a fully functional machine
mirrored and moving, a passionate computer
side "A" is off-putting, rude, self-centered
while side "B" puts on friendly smiles centered on
the world. Much would be gained from two strong
counterparts working together,
however, only one side can be seen at a time
how do you solve an enigma such as that?

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace**

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.
Boy, did he get this wrong. But it's a nice poem and very much his styke.
