January 15, 1984 2:35 p.m. The decade of the Eighties Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Computer Dreams I


Precious plastic people prattle
Feeling dread overfed cattle
Wishline standing before a trap
Enter freely lift the flap

Urbane urban mischief feels
The needs of those who turn the wheels
Looking out the windshield
See a perfect knifewield

BigBrotherlove to he who believes
The multitude's lies as he kneels as he grieves
Precious stones thrown
					at the sick
					at the fair
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

Instances shown on a 13 inch screen
Rereading outdated textbooks
		to find out where he'd been
Wishline
		standing
			before
				a 
				trap

		enterfreelylifttheflap
