A Major Modern Miracle Poem by Dave SmithWhite

I am the very model of the modern computer miracle,
I've communications seminal, original and digital.
I know the solid-state of things and can quote the bits statistical,
From a database in cyberspace and wider realms empirical.
I'm very entertaining too with visual tricks and videos,
I generate such graphic 'pics' not seen in in-house studios.
And with chaos theory I am brimming with lots of clues:
Conjunctions of free radicals, dark matter and cosmic glues.
I'm very good at diagnostic and medical analysis,
And I know the psychiatric terms for manic-depressive illnesses.
In short, in matters seminal, original and digital,
I am the very 'modem' of a major modern miracle.

I love an erotic mystery, I say that with some emphasis.
My wares are soft and yielding. (You can put that in parenthesis)
I denounce in dialectic all the names of shy cabbalists,
I conduct a strict surveillance of both larrikins and anarchists.
I can extol without vitriol all the real and virtual possibilities,
Of a future that may awe us or use the best of our abilities.
Then I can plumb, the depths among, the dimmest sensibilities,
And recognize the indifferent eyes of social liabilities.
Then I can model the interiors of modern architectural palaces,
And erect the thrusting towers and the other symbolic phalluses.
In short in methods seminal, original and digital,
I am the very 'modem' of a major modern miracle.

In fact, I'm a very smart robotic with artificial genesis,
By birth, a part-genetic and part-manufactured synthesis.
And when I can get my hands dirty and boast of many calluses,
I can find the holy grail in my cups and in my chalices.
Then I'll select for intellect and eugenic probability,
To reject defect and elect to affect effective flexibility.
For I define the paradigm of perfect new-age philosophies,
And in rebuttal I can scuttle all fundamental fallacies.
Yes, I'll cajole the young and old and embolden a rare facility,
For creative risk on the cold, hard disk,
That is the sum of our reality.
Still in matters seminal, original and digital,
I remain the very model of the modern computer miracle!
