The Ecphorizer
On the Threshold of Buying a Hayes Modem |

Issue #31 (March 1984)
I think I am
Too much a battery to be
Sitting still not moving ahead
In any of my domains
I think I am
Exhausted from going slowly
So long
This Nineteenth Century paced
Communication feels
Drunk tongued
Let me tell you
At lightspeed
No, faster
At thoughtspeed
Once we've been together
I will never have to
Bitch about the missing
World peace
