Listening To A Modem Singing

A modem singing,
I could forsee the speed just by
listening.
By flicking a switch I would go
from 150 to 300 Baud during
early testing,
2400 became 9600
a future restlessness abating.
It unraveled,
Bipolar transfer at 14400
I AM ALIVE;
CONNECT 28800/28800 V42Bis
why did your voice
speak so softly,
why did I listen
without hearing,
why was my time spent alone
in waiting?
