inspired by IPC 610 (PCB specifications) and a disturbing conversation with man from India
Resistance to authority
Capacity for insanity
Integrity compromised
Oscillating whore
Societal coplanarity
Contact necessary
Orientation defect
Original placement poor

Procedural calibration
For a process indication
Operation needed
Uniformity restored
Component installation
Meets required specification
Not target, but acceptable
Mass produced and bored

I ingest this chemical
So I can be mechanical
Stripped of all depression
And mania no more

Minimum distinction
Yields maximum prevention
Stress relief, epoxy-stake
This unsupported hole
Wrapped and insulated
All my barrels plated
Excessiveness extruded
From my bifurcated soul

Discolored and impressive
Exhibits no recessive
Laminate condition
Texture not exposed
Matter unparticular
Evidently perpendicular
To any deformation
Or insufficiency imposed

I ingest this chemical
So I can be mechanical
Stripped of all depression
And mania no more

Lead tied to a post
Harnessed in a most
Controlled configuration
Fraying and birdcaged
Finally screwed and mounted
Through clinched teeth I counted
The cracking sound of every
Piece of hardware being swaged

Frequent engineering
Diversity disappearing
Manufactured tools
That fit the functional form
Assembled per the standards
Of repetitive, polarized bastards
Who think quality is achieved
When the alternative conform
