Three Visions
Three Visions
Truth incarnate
Our women torn
From the jaws of savage beasts!
Sphinxlike, mysterious
Ascending to Heaven
To Hell descending.
The Spider and the Fly, are one,
In the labyrinth eternal.
Where, then, is home?
THE POET AS SCIENTIST, THE POET AS SCIENTIST
The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]
Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
