UnPlugged

Unplugged!
Just downloaded my brain to a super computer.
Super computing since it didn’t take very much space on the drive of course.
(could have saved it on a single floppy disk)

On the drive to the Berkly campus,
wearing a hard hat and a static wristband just in case
but nobody laughed at me at all.

What happened to my country? Did it disappear?
A few years ago they would have laughed before I would have been institutionalized.
Lobotomized.

Damn! that uploading program really saved my life and sanity.
However i’m still unplugged and free to be weird.
Freely unplugged.
All 1.44 MB’s of me
Kicking the hardhat down the sidewalk daily.
