\nHello Snoopy!
\nHere’s an excerpt from an article “Snoopy Shaped Island Emerges after a Volcanic Eruption in Japan”<\/strong> – New York Daily News by David Harding: <\/p>\n

Good grief, Charlie Brown!<\/p>\n

A volcanic eruption in Japan has caused an island to form that looks like Snoopy.<\/p>\n

The new landmass was created in the past few weeks in sea some 620 miles south of the Japanese capital, Tokyo.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Volcanic activity created new land, which merged with an existing island and, incredibly, bears a remarkable resemblance to the cartoon dog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(December 2013)<\/p>\n

\"snoopyisland\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The following poem was written 25 years\uff08\uff01\uff09 ago by Japan’s premier poet, Shuntaro Tanikawa. He is also the translator for all things Snoopy & Peanuts cartoons into Japanese. <\/p>\n

I have seen you
\nYou were once shaped like a big box, quite plain.
\nI have touched you.
\nYour flesh had a slight temperature
\nI do not love you nor do I fear you.
\nYou are likely to continue to get craftier.
\nYou are likely to continue to get smarter.
\nAll the while I will remain as is, the same old me.
\nRather annoying and irritating
\nunable to let go of such trivial thoughts, yet unable to dump you.
\nEven if I know nothing of binary number system,
\nI still remain to be your programmer
\nI keep inputting the most boundless ridiculous ideals, hopes and dreams
\nuntil gushing flood of information washes away all our secrets,
\nto where us humans have no choice but to stare deeply into our naked bare souls.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– by Shuntaro Tanikawa
\n(translated by ME)<\/p>\n

What’s the title of the above poem?
\n“My Dear Friend, the computer” … Of course.<\/p>\n
