Gadgeteer

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...
