Batch setups are but dreams
Born in formless, shapeless Zen.
We are but dreamers.

I comped for three days
And heard no human voices.
But the disk array sang.

Flame renders the setup
Like a swift-flowing river.
I wait in silence.

Why do you use vertical
I understand horizontal not.
Therefore I use vertical.

I comped all night.
Through the window, on my screen,
The rising sun shined
6
Stone and wire,
We are your slaves and masters,
Our lives are batch setups

I read my email.
The project has been canceled.
Archiving silently, I weep.
