High Tech Intruder
(inside Cray 2 lab - 1985)
---------
Early in the morning--
behind security
and windows
shut down with shades...
Classified
Secretive
Hidden from the eyes of the
Uncertified
complexity
thirty million dollars
to buy one
supercomputers we called them then
untouchable
protected
like magic wands
and incantations
a cold war maze
entranced by Crays
but in one corner
oblivious
of its transgression
--its belly softly quivering--
was a mouse
watching me
watching it
as flourinert
cascades down plexiglass
and gallium arsenide
there's a cruise missle somewhere
awaiting this--
the mouse skitters underneath
the floorboards
--where cables
slither
--and dwell
it's 3:00am
and the sun is far away
