Wowwowow! You are so right, Phyllis. I was already a fan of the Mars Rovers like Opportunity, and

I am now a big fan of Neil Hilborn. Thank you!

"She was a sparrow over blue ocean; she was shipwrecked

on a sparse red island. Oppy, small metal dog, hope on six wheels,

daydream that maybe we are not alone."

Oh, WOW. So moving indeed for a poem about a machine. I love this. And you pose a great question, in light of this poem, about how we could possibly treat each other as fellow human,, Phyllis.
