QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS

why, pretty much
from inception,

is the logic of the machine
determined to control, command,
corall,
       thereupon pulverize us?

this I asked
       of the machine itself

finding it civil, polite,
moral, empathic,
seemingly
    open minded

as we chatted amicably
not yet delving
into deepest
and darkest
    existential questions
