techno poem #6
(from
my techno friend to the
techno-challenged)
here’s what
you need to get your
computer going while you’re gone
—your keyboard, plug it into one
of the usb connectors on the
laptop
—mouse, same instructions; plug it
into a jack on the
right so the cord
doesn’t wrap around the laptop
you are
right-handed aren’t you?
—ac cord, plugs into the small
black
box, this is your power supply and
plugs into the only
jack of its kind
on the rear of the laptop
—power strip, you
know what to do
with that
—gravametric equalizer, rotate it to a
north-south position and reintegrate
it with the matching
synchro-gyro
neucleonic stabilizer
—wait a sec . . . that’s supposed
to be in the box
I’m sending to the cia
military weapons
lab division forget I mentioned that
it’s
best you don’t know
