Lady Ada’s fingers dance
On an ivory punch
And the cards fly
She is the first
Of the mutltitudinous
Modern day conquests of Babbage.
Our new
The seeds scatter through the wilderness
Sowing the Grapes of Wrath of Milnet
In the home-brew clubs.
A hundred thousand Mitnicks are born
On the waves of fruitfully colored sand
Vacuum tubes shine Basic on the retinas
Of young wizards and fighters.
This is the Proving Grounds of deep space
The calculators have long since fallen by the wayside
In the currents of the war to end all wars
They will be the relics of an established author.
I am a young keyboard player
With a Commodore 64 and an RCA television
The magazine arrives and I trip my vision
Over the letters and sculpture on the cover.
