People who see life
You are people who see life
in all its current and long-term assets,
all its trial balances,
and can suggest adjustments
Might you just be poets, too?
You dance with the numbers
The numbers sing to you
This is poetry
You see things they do not
perhaps cannot see
until you point it out
constellation in the night sky
this is poetry
How do you bring
an open heart
to your work?
this is poetry
You remember
who we are
as humans
this is poetry

So that we are disheartened
It may be necessary to explore possible technology futures so that we find ourselves disheartened and lost so that in turn we see more clearly where we find ourselves and where we might better go.
