Diana, Her, Bottom, Sort of Dutch

it has not taken half a lifetime
[for i plan to ascend in saucer]
to learn to be a good nurse
to the robot and process opera doctors
handing in tools and holding light sticks
my feet aching on raised metal half-tone
holey floors designed for laminar flow

for now I am an engineering technician
or a resource engineer, or simply
a "tech" in the pecking order
in which I am perfectly happy
missing a few feathers
but getting fed well

the weirdo's snake is happy
a rolling stone gathers no moss
and a trouser snake's fang
looks like a retooled zipper

manifestation

And "slam" at INTEL
is "sacrificial layer at metal"
to support the VIA layers
and protect the sidewalls
from rogue orders of refraction
which delete too much structure
as standing waves
