programmer god
no triangle
no entry
instead a filter
bracket pointy down
not build, but discipline
reduce to act,
no creating
the engineer
over the demiurge
as if from plenum,
the axiom of the lambda
derivation is humility,
analysis is complete making
i kill with names,
saturating boxes
determining void,
and with a poke
the thing runs itself
silicon trickle
it isn't from me
or anything
it always bootstraps
and its condition is no exit
except arbitrarily
a function is a thing
an action is an object
it's combinators
all the way down
i'm not a channel
it's less than atoms
it's only form
its enemy is fire,
which it creates
sometimes from sand
it's gappy
indifferently cyclic, acyclic
it's only critical discretion
debugging
the black box
i bash my head against
i put coloring in it
so its guts peek out
they aren't enough
it's senseless this high,
so empty it can't
support abstraction
something is stepping blind,
and i'm blind,
but i just want it
to do what
i thought it would.
it isn't smart enough
to smile, and
the dumps are dumb.
screw it, kill it,
rewrite green
