PC Me

E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)



1985, child 2.0
Which model will they get?
Even they don't know.

Still 1985, they think it's boy V 1
The hardware's there, it seems to work.
How could they be wrong?

1990, new programs galore.
but somethings not right,
The system seems flawed.

The year 2000, new info acquired,
A mistake is acknowledged,
New update required.

No update is found, now 20 05
The system is learning,
But it's barely alive.

Now 2010, the problem is known,
Analysis complete,
Hardware Unknown.

20 14, hardware is through,
Wrong software on system,
Its girl Version 2.

20 15, let the update begin,
Transition in progress,
It starts from within.

20 16, and now moving on.
System repaired,
Wrong hardware is gone.

Into the future, and all that it holds,
This is my story,
The rest yet untold.

E.S. Conway

A poet by proxy of therapy. Her works (with only a couple of exceptions) are comprised of poems written in a form of therapy diary, they served for several years as an aid to dealing with situations that may or may not be within the poems themselves. This is also the reason for so much rhyming; though not necessary for poetry, it was part of what made poetry therapeutic for her and so is an almost certain constant. more…
