I have become aware enough to
realize that there are new gaps
in my synapses. The tree within
has fallen, and is no longer able to
elevate me. My footing is now unsure
and slowly sinking into a liquefied
instability. The tsunami of technology
is awash over my ability to assimilate
this new age reality. You may be
reading this, and telling yourself
my condition seem tenuous at best.
You may be led to the impression
that old age is not an advantageous
place to be. And should you still
be invigorated by youth each day,
the creeping aches and graying of
time and place will eventually bring
you to an awareness in questioning,
WTF? Of what he speaks, albeit subtle
seeming at first, is growing on me too.
Don’t believe me, though, I’m only
human, you know, filled to the gills
with fake news. Just ask Alexa, Siri
or Cortana, and listen to what AI soft-
ware bots have to say. Young and old
alike, Lord help us all. (Is that okay to
say in the AI Age?)
