At The Speed of Light, What Word Pops Up?
It's not now called evesdropping.
No one is right outside,
Standing under your eves.
Not right now.
Where are they standing,
Standing by, while software
Scans, listens, but does not record,
Until that word is recognized?
Who knows what that word is?
In the fictional movie,
'The Bourne Ultimatum, '
The word was 'Blackbrier.'
That's what popped up the red flags
On all our spies computer screens:
Like someone looked the Old Testament God
In the eye and shouted His name.
That was fiction, right?
One word can't trigger all that?
Excuse me.
There's a knock on my door.
