A Pome a Day for a Year

If the brain was a hard drive,
how many bytes fill that caboose?
It must be above exa,
for all the
programs you have to contain
(eyes, speech, pattern recognition,
chess, swing dancing,
and many, many more!)

Plus, the datasets holding those
memories of performing the above!
How much storage is needed
for humming in the key of correct?

And, and!
The swap disk for imagination
that allows thoughts to be placed
in situ, ready to be mashed to
reality or dreamt as an aside,
that has got to be huge!

Maybe the brain is not comparable
to a hard disk drive.
Too much, too unique
against the silicon
boards that we create with logic.
The computationals that boil
down to yes or nay,
with systems rigid and
decisions set,
our own operating systems
still like to ask,
what am I?
