would a kid draw a circuit board these days

or stick to the traditional
subjects like rain or ocean fish?

when I was a youngster,
one would say, I didn't know

what I wasn't capable of yet.
so I drew the entire solar system

without knowing the names
of all the planets... earth, mars,

Saturn, Pluto... maybe Mercury
on a particularly clever day.

but would I have known
a battery from a capacitor

or a mother board
from a graphics card?

I don't think I even do today.
I don't think I could tell you

the difference between Neptune
and Uranus other than their names.
