Dumbing Up.

We're all babelfish;
caught in the internet,
gulping for something,
knowledge, certainty-
innovation.

Do you remember,
seats in a library,
fishing for something:
knowledge, scholarship
or novelty?

Congratulations:
to you (and all of us),
paid up founder members
of the confederacy
of on-line dunces.

If you'd Googled
Gogol, bet you squillions
that your searches would've
returned useless pages
showing you 'googol'.
