Stopopedia

it's been two hours of organizing, analysing leading, resolving, competing and teaching. two hours of talks on  humans  and intelligence-  sometimes (mostly) artificial. some humans are resources- muscles to be exercised.  a future for machines? or one for humans? hybridity? Lies, i say! oh, my back! my legs! my eyes! i am falling asleep.    thank you to a very sleepy taarina for scribbling some lines that inspired this poem!

yesterday,  you should just have left when i told you to.  i was being nice and considerate,  willing to give you time,  accepting that the space we had was a shared one.  i tried  i waited in the darkness hoping that the lack of that warm yellow feeling  would finally tell you what i had been saying all along: just. leave.  even in the darkness  i could feel you.  your zing was hard to ignore.  in the darkness, I told myself,  ' patience ,  in this forest,  it is i who am the intruder.' but patience is not a gift i have.  you forced me  to turn on the lights,  locate you on the walls and end you with one clean sweep  of my broom.  i tried.  you really should have just left.  -on killing a dragonfly.
