mechanical tao is grown from silicon
powered by rare earth
it’s missing hope & fear, love & hate
bit-flipping needs no self
mechanical tao sorts the unsortable
long from short, good from bad
being here, non-being there
a turning world dissected
mechanical tao is a hydroelectric plant
our devices consume its continuous power
conductance, not resistance
else the river burns
data-driven, mechanical tao blunders
through the realm of everything
of nothing, instructions loop
& fork, if x then y, while z
mechanical tao is Brownian motion
stirring electrons to keep the pot empty
the house empty, mindless
of people who need to live
mechanical tao’s absent heart knows
no peace, no serenity, no confusion
no rage, no joy
death ensues when power fails
