Technical processes threaten to expose
The datamancy of inadequacy
As occupational responsibilities
Or domestic duties
As laundering the textiles
Or preparing the repast
Or maintaining the appliances
Or maintaining the body’s physical plant
Or conducting a vehicle at high speed
Among a throng of other rank amateurs
Or worse than rank
Not that the pros are that much better
Just ask Buddy or Stevie Ray or Francis Gary Powers
Or compiling these heaps of cryptic charactry
Bardel zairehfik cvmwoflux effrent
Nor nowhere stands the artifice of eternity
Into which to gather me
