Things I Don't Google Anymore

How long to microwave a potato.

Whether my symptoms are cancer.

The name of that actor I like.

I used to wonder things out loud,

let the wondering live in the air a while

before it landed somewhere.

Now I ask the machine

and it tells me in 0.4 seconds

and I forget by 0.5.

There is a version of me

who didn't know the answer

and was somehow richer for it.
