electronic dreams

This new blog will be my online repository for my tales. A collection of sometimes really pathetic poems, and some that I am really proud of. I will start with the first one I ever remember writing. This is a really crummy poem, really geeky one too. But I have to include since its part of my collection. It doesn't have anything unique in it, just that its full of technical stuff.

electronic dreams

i had dreamt of transistors and capacitors
of transformers and inductors

of connecting series and parallel connections
and h-bridges that produced motions

i slept and imagined i was melted and soldered
stuck on a pcb along with bonds that faltered

looking around i saw electrons rushing past
taking paths that took them to their destinations fast

i had illusions of electronic immortality
transferring myself into data bits that you can't see

manipulating data with the flick of my wrist
creating reality at a moment's notice

i saw all of these and more, but when i awoke,
what i saw moved me to dream no more
