User interface dream
By Bob Haugen
In my dream,
the user interface was liquid,
encased in a rectangular wooden box
about 4 by 6,
composed of bubbles,
shimmering,
undulating,
jostling each other.
When I touched one,
it expanded and
smaller bubbles emerged from its depths
which were connected by tendrils
to other bubbles,
all composed of energy
of different kinds.
Beings appeared in the bubbles
at the ends of the tendrils
and wanted to talk.
