Striding and striding along the red carpet
\nThe publicist cannot hear the designer;
\nThings fall apart; the specification cannot hold;
\nMere anarchy is loosed upon the news,
\nThe bloggers speculate, and everywhere
\nThe customs of the press conference are lost;
\nThe spokesmen lack all conviction, while the insiders
\nAre full of passionate intensity.<\/p>\n
Surely some revelation is at hand;
\nSurely the iPod announcement is at hand.
\nThe iPod announcement! Hardly are those words out
\nWhen a vast image out of 1984
\nTroubles my sight: somewhere in Los Altos
\nA device with touch screen and new proportions
\nMemory as vast and limitless as the sun,
\nIs showing onscreen, while all about it
\nFlash quotes of the breathless Apple publicists.
\nThe darkness drops again; but now I know
\nThat twelve months of hush-hush development
\nWere brought to market by a production schedule
\nAnd what smooth gadget, its moment come round at last,
\nSloches towards the market to be born?<\/p>\n
