Windows & Android got big
copying Apple.
Apple got big
copying Xerox.
Xerox got big
copying.
I'm getting nowhere
too far removed from my sources on
Mount Olympus
Hermes, mainly, methinks; whoever. Maybe
my system sourced
Pong, or an abacus. Intellivision, or Chutes
and Ladders. The snake in the Tree.
Zoroaster or Blake. Bill
Finger or Steve Gerber.
Some forgotten saint. Some dead
Singer.  That
Charlatan,  main man of
the Mercury Theater on the Air.
Hermes, Mercury: copies (eloquent tricksters,
GUIdes, winged messengers).
When in Rome, it's still Olympus. I'm going to
fiddle with this poem while
America burns.
