Your vibrancy is dulled,
Illness casting its shade.
You come to me for help, restoration,
But how can I restore what I do not know?
For my attention is elsewhere,
Occupied by a mere digital abstraction,
The computer between us acting as a physical metaphor.
It is not that I do not care for you.
I just no longer serve you.
The tools created to serve us, have become our masters.
