Twenty-four Carat Turing

 Twenty-four Carat Turing

They’re on the way to building techy brains

With nano wires of coated silver. Gold

Might do, but maybe not, since leaving strains

Of greed would be too human.  Strands enfold

A new creation of electrics which

Exists in nanospheres alone.  This force

Goes pulsing tinily, switch, switch, switch

Just like synaptic messages that course

Through our intelligence.  What’s missing, though,

Is consciousness and freedom.  Mapped out lengths

Of flashing pathways, even if just so,

Will never make the torments and the strengths

Of love in man or woman when possessed

By manliness above a tingling chest.
