Poem

I suppose it's rather too late for that now, though.

we try to govern the squares and edges
but i'm sorry about the...squares
it's a difficult issue to wrestle with
wonderful, but now we've got this nightmare

let's make some manipulations here
and take the brick off the stack
excuse me, i just realized i said something wrong
someone's coughing so i'll just repeat that

it seems fine because it is fine
let's just make up a situation here
we could do a discovery but that would take forever
people wrote all sorts of weird things in there

truth must be false already
and that's something you should avoid because it's horrible
"let's not all get tuberculosis at once"
but everybody seems to have tuberculosis

improvise at your own risk
because that word is now a special word
garbage in the memory
but it's not because i'm a vicious human being
[sometimes i say things and they're not always the best things to say]

you're a person who is sub-functioning
you're utterly, insultingly reprehensible and illogical
needless to say, i almost threw my phone
one begins to wonder exactly how these things work

sorry, you're a little far away, so i need obvious nodding
remember that the human compiler is stupid
but it's intense, and it's technical, and it's fast
by default, you are the debugger
