Dear Computer,

Dear Computer,

 
This con­nec­tiv­ity lacks con­nec­tiv­ity. There’s a vir­tual uni­verse at our fin­ger­tips while a real one goes ignored. We com­mu­ni­cate with friends in vir­tual spaces but forget their faces. I miss tribal. I want to sit around a camp fire and share sto­ries in real real-​time, with real humans in a real setting.  There is some­thing telling when we describe amaz­ing but ordi­nary moments in real­ity as sur­real. Beau­ti­ful sun­rises and sun­sets happen every day and mark the pass­ing of time. Time is real too com­puter. You seem to pay this no mind as you steal away mine. Mine mind.  You com­puter, are surreal.
