Technically Speaking Poem by Joe Bisicchia

Having mastered complexities of math, science, and alphabet,
all that education now comes down to this:
affixing one and one together late on Christmas Eve,
hooking up latest kids' gadgets with no sense of ease.

Has me thinking of a chimpanzee on the way to the moon
pushing all kinds of buttons, pulling all kinds of levers,
knowing all kinds of wires and all kinds of connections.

Technically speaking,
that chimpanzee first needed to translate all kinds of jargon
and then turn it into all kinds of brilliant action.

To him, he had to treat it like some kind of poetry.

That could be me. But,
I have no idea what that poor chimpanzee had to go through.
Technically speaking, I'm a baboon.
