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 â it follows,
or appears to.
Imagine a square root negative,
I command with determined voice,
to which it balks audaciously,
âError â Stupid to contrive
a squared thing minus.â
At its stubborn gall,
I bite contentionâs 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.
