Submission (Free verse) by Dovina

I write software for hardware that thinks in ones and zeros. A higher form than it, my code in DNA sports four, not merely two attitudes. I shoot an arrow of desire, piercing hardened heart, while riding a higher language horse, my tongues are Lisp, Machine. I think, and it thinks, or so I say, lead — it follows, or appears to. Imagine a square root negative, I command with determined voice, to which it balks audaciously, “Error — Stupid to contrive a squared thing minus.” At its stubborn gall, I bite contention’s bone, breaking with fantasy its stubborn heart. My servant has no choice, for I have spoken, forced blood from silicone. Like man, it performs for me, submits to forceful charm, and yields to innate fault.

Is it just for him or all of us hardware men?
You carried that metaphor all the way through like a tightrope walker. Do the 4 attitudes have different screen names? If so dare I ask for their names so I can read their poetry too. Call me a silly romantic but I really can't help but think of it as a love poem.

You inspired another little poem out of me:

It came to me one cold winters day
to take the egg out of Dovina and make DNA.

It may just be because think I actually get all of this one that I feel giddy enough to give you -10-.
