Cowering poets, writing code

because it only has to work, and Work
is what you needed, not to mention food
and shelter, and a couple words of praise
from equals, colleagues: Hi, good morning! Nice
to see you, I thought you did nice work on that
PR review.
Just a couple crumbs
for poets, to trace their way back to the site
map, to the root of knowledge trees, to break
apart the trusted, loved—the comfort of
the—binary. But clutching, cloying to your words,
your code, your symbols, poetry, you gain
a reputation for...well, as my first
boss put it, polishing a turd :P

The scale of poets hiding in the code
is staggering and growing exponentially.
More gods than men, more poets than the bugs.
