#programming poem

[alongmirewriter]

A recent Douglas Kearney talk (yo SHOOOOTS to him) reinspired an old obesssion for position, layout and graphical placement in poems.

This also takes from a bunch of poems I’ve been trying to write (for what seems like forever on the real) towards talking about my true, true love for the thought and philosophy behind computer programming.

It was never about the money as far as I was concerned. Now the power? That might be another thing. What’s more powerful (in theory) that chasing a language that creates everything?

Procedural Programming: Loops

A way of building a family is by                                                                                   } do building a meal.

Summing pork chop sizings by personality consuming, budget bi-weekly and           garnished with a feeling of salt. My mother brain                                                                                                          } for intuits the need till it automates into          a bridge of showtune humming to          pass time spent compiling things. A way of

thinking of any object is the                    tail end of a cook. Every mortal construction                                                                                          } each  is a sequence of fractal limbs made to bend    in line with some      small human sight     iterating when they     whine that                                        it was not to their taste. and this a recipe                                                                                                        } until for life. Twisting another screw at           child. Another generation attempts how to           house again.

The dance that might as well          be a spice.          Forgetting my tech, the third instruction on how to fasten          a wall.                                      My sweet cake weekend under air-conditioning                } when 

                                     running hot while teaching a box on the spec-                                      trum a budget every-meal. Writing my robot ten thousand lines but never finding any shade of her song.

Deficiencies of the Sprint Function (Ignoring the Eating of a Ripe Piece of Fruit)

You can define a way to, for example,           Sprint ( a given event ) is to                    (1) give                    (2) hard                    (3) hope some something back and          you get a gist of burning death for a hour and          maybe a mile and an inch, it’s variable, friend, how much

                                                                     honestly.

Sprint ( the new morning ) => a shore fire way to gaze foggy and friction head on Tuesday. Sprint ( the night ) => is a morning away in the tent of bed some same Zoloft ambition. Sprint ( a nectarine at 3 am ) => and at least the spritz in the air feels sharp and zesty. Sprint ( a tinder chat exchange ) => the golden shape of sunset cloud is a blur again and you, alone.

Functional Programming 1

A means to construct a day is a stream. You converse the node that beams my harsh noon. You stripe it of ego. See an egg yolk hardening. Speak me a yellow. Eye detects the dawn of your smirk. Slick back a haloed emoji. Black box adds a plus one to every flirt behind the android screen. More a bush then a tree. The moment wet pastas wires for each variable you. Walking through the choice of expression. Always new.
