The poem is a metaphor for the desperation he feels when he realizes he is unable to solve the problem of his grandfather succumbing to Alzheimer's, as easily as he was able to solve his Rubik's cube.

While it currently seems likely that machines are on a path to take over human jobs, many still feel uncomfortable with this becoming their reality. Kevin Kelly in his persuasive essay, “Better than Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take Our Jobs, assumes that his audience is anti-machine job takeover, and attempts to persuade his audience through the use of logos.
