Final Score: God Is One– UNIVAC I

More and more it feels as if
we are teetering between 1984 and 1933
but 84-33=51
bringing us to 1951
the actual lone year in question
when the world’s first computer–
UNIVAC I–
was delivered to the US Census Bureau
 
72 years on and our bodies
twist like hanging chads
as our minds are vacuumed up
and counted as yet one more drop
in a cloud of univalent uniformities
