After the Computers
FOUND by Steve
in Taunton, MA
This note was found next to one of the public internet computers at the Taunton Public Library. The patron that was using the computer around the time the note was found was known to have some anger issues, and he just happened to be accompanied by a female friend of his.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
i want to go after the computer too. with 3 you get a movement.
After the computers...
What?
Take over the world? Crash? Cause the downfall of the world market? Are replaced with some unimaginable something else?
And how does our writer know that going with the note's recipient will be a good thing? Does he or she have some knowledge the rest of us lack? Perhaps of wilderness survival or of welding?
It's probably "after the computers lets [us] talk for a while". (Them pesky computers.]
Funny, too, how the library staff knows these "anonymous" computer users. You do that after seeing the same people day after day after day: invent stories about them. But some of the stories are either based in fact or are completely non-fiction. ...Wait a minute! That's what I do here almost every day. Deja vu all over again.
Aren't "based in fact" and "non-fiction" the same?
But just so's you know, it's the computers first, then you.
sweet poem.
After the computers... comes the apocalypse.
@ Just ... almost! I meant 'either partly based in fact (rather than completely fiction) OR completely 100% true'. Just trying to say that when we librarians make up stories about our patrons, hey, sometimes we nail it.
It's an Tech Posse out for computer lynching. Nobody was going to just stand around while the PC core-dumped and blue screened of deathed the children and women folk....
Another poor haiku
@ Nostradamus, after the computers, the Mayan calender ends and we all go to hell.
@ Sammy Davis ... except George Bush, of course, who was sent to heaven in yesterday's Found phone call transcript ("To Propane") from the devil
This bothers me to no END. If only it had said 'computer class' or computer classes' not 'after computers' WTF does that mean? After computers WHAT? after the computers eat lunch? or after the computers put down the toilet stool lid? I mean, I'm getting really angry here! I guess those trillion kisses didn't work and now someone is bribing with 'the computers' pfft! I give up! *throws hands in air*
George Bush was sent to heaven because the devil didn't want him.
Kind of scary.
Moonshine.. after computers Take Over The World!!!
"moo hoo ha ha"
