Day 171: Moore

I flick the lightswitch off to save on power.
At just a fraction of the speed of light,
I see the room get dimmer. Hour by hour,
My mind accumulates this karma byte
By byte, a binary assessment of
Our digital creation: Moore's Law states
We're twicing brains each even year.  I shove
The person next in line -- these constant waits
Demean us, eastern bloc us, plunking us
In black-and-white succession.  I trace lines
Along my propio receptors, suss
The genre, and adopt a role; the signs
Declaim, "My words fight for the users," but
I can't decipher whether, why, or what.
