Technological Progress by Arthur J. Stewart

[notalittlegirl]

I tell my sons, you must learn
to insinuate yourself into the world:
you must learn to work
in, amongst and through

the molecularity of being; you must learn
how to push the delicate
threads of the self into pixels,
energy fields, Gaussian curves, the step-

functions of life; you must
come to understand uncertainty,
the silly prancing dance of neutrons,
electrons, and learn how to surf

advances in new materials: blue lasers,
solid-state biphasic epsilonic wavelets,
quantum computing, nano-scale fabrication:
a propensity of density,

oh yes, wonderful things
beyond my comprehension. It's time
I say for your dad to fall
behind the curve. And don't forget

I say to love.
