TECHNOPHAGE

TECHNOPHAGE

To and fro my mind goes as 7TYPP asks me, to enter
statements on keys with mechanical clicks in the dark
the whirring hum of air rammed through filters
behind pressurized seals and bio locks.
 
Illuminated by keys in Cathode Ray Tube green
on a pad, in this this room minus other light
repeating F7QYT to an eerie spreading scene of VQY9D
that circles like a hungry mosquito diving
its nanotube proboscis thrust to feed on
the remaining QWBK3.

A phage to leave infection as husk
thick with the weight of PG76B remnants
within the sterile clean room at AM-3
watching it nurse on bath of coded bits
this agar of silicon spread on petri toast.
