Carbon Copy

Carbon Copy

My friend dropped by for a little chat
asking me where my cyberlife's at.
I sat beside her, picked up my fan,
crossed my legs, and began...

"We weave within and out the quotes;
making deductions and taking notes
of what lies hidden between the lines,
we're at the post and times define".

Talk of Jackie, Wally and June,
President's brains, and Dylan tunes,
Dick Van Dyke and Buddy's Pickles...
What comes next?...Wooden nickles?!

My friend, curious, asks for more;
pressuring me to reveal the score.
"Is it serious?" "What's the rating?"
I simply state "We're carbon dating."
