Information Age Child

There once was a boy
Made of 1s and 0s
A product of the age
Of information

Built from wires and numbers and clicks
From brain signals to solid brick
Accumulated flesh from the minds of the strangers
Parents to a perfect specimen
Programmed to recognize "Mommy" and "Daddy"
"Poppy" and "Uncle"
