I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who gets their poem printed in The New Yorker magazine. And now at last, in a sort of unusual way, I have.
There is an article in the latest issue of The New Yorker by Patty Marx, entitled Taking Virtual Reality for a Test Drive. Near the end I am cited.
The entire citation consists of printing a poem that I once wrote on this blog about virtual reality, in the form of a haiku. I hereby reprint said poem, in its entirety:
when technology
shifts reality, will we
know the world has changed?
I think my poem points out a very valid truth. I could add that it is a timely truth, but in fact this particular truth has been equally timely over the entirety of human history.
In any case, I am pleased and honored to finally have a poem printed in The New Yorker. Thank you Patty!!!!
