Neutrality
I went to buy a bigger pipe
as Gore’s old saying goes,
so my net enterprise would have
a proper chance to grow.
We reached agreement on a rate,
my servicer and me—
but he arrested both of us,
beheaded my provider,
and lopped my enterprise’s legs
for being super-sized.
I came home poorer, wanting just
to read some news and weep,
but found I had to buy the same-
sized web-pipe for my house
that had been too small for my work
but outstripped any need
I had at home, and cost too much.
I asked, so they told me
there’s only one size pipe today—
I’d better just stretch out
my modest data needs, buy feeds,
watch more to use it up.
It’s all so fair, so neutral now
as everyone can just see:
all pipes the same, per FCC
high-bureaucrat Procrustes.
