| Driving around the Beltway to work Heavy traffic, 6:28am Metro train arches above the road Satellite radio glitches under the bridge How would someone from 200 years ago Understand the cascade of miracles? "The signal processor lost lock When the bit error rate got too high ..." "There's a transmitter in a highly elliptical orbit ..." "It's a tiny moon, launched by rockets ..." "Radio is like sound, only it's more like light ..." But what am I actually doing? "I just had breakfast, told my wife I loved her, And now I'm going to work ..." "I studied in school for many years ..." "My job is mainly listening to people, Understanding their problems, and Helping them find solutions ..." "I spend most of my time Putting words together To organize and explain stuff ..." No change, in other words, for centuries |
