#Poetry #Poem SKIP THE CHIP by Bill Kochman 02-01-2025 Well, they offered me a biochip, When I arrived at my job today, It would make everything easier, With real money no need to pay. Just lift my hand and then scan, Doors would open with no fuss, I could quickly pay for my meals, Or catch a ride on the local bus. Banking would also be a cinch, No long lines or writing a check, It seemed like a wonderful thing, So I thought, sure, what the heck. Well, things went well for a time, I was really enjoying my biohack, But then it really freaked me out, Because they were keeping track. Nothing in my life was kept secret, My privacy was totally overridden. No matter how hard I even tried, I could not keep anything hidden. Well I decided to remove that chip, Boss didn't like it but he did agree, So I am now back standing in line. But at least I can say that I'm free.

SUPER THINKER -- a poem and song by BBB #Poetry #Poem SUPER THINKER by Bill Kochman https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry 02-01-2025 I heard about this thing called Neuralink, They said it would help me to super think. I could even move stuff with just my mind, So I would rise above regular humankind. They said I would think like the fastest AI, So I thought a while & then I gave it a try. It did not take long, in 10 minutes it was in, I was so excited to see my new life begin. I have to say, my friends were impressed, While they struggled, I passed every test. I could open doors with a simple thought, Quickly add the total of stuff I had bought. Life was grand and I was feeling quite cool, Never realizing how I had played the fool. One day I experienced some serious pain, My head swelled as fire seared my brain. Breathing was sharp, heart pounded hard, A seizure hit me and I fell down in my yard. When I came to I was in some hospital bed, A doctor informed me I would soo...
