the word comes from
a man who sold
tiny versions
of the Statue of Liberty
way back when
now a word
that describes
my sad addiction
to technology
tiny versions
of larger things
pockets full of wonder
and electricity
from palm-top to mini-disc
anything I can afford
to get my hands on
ends up in my orbit
not just toys
not just magic made real
not just because
every scifi tale
grown up with
coming true
one gadget at a time
little miracles
pointing the way
to a future
I can't wait to see
and buy
and stick
in my pocket
keep it coming...
