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
