I see lines and lines
That spin real fast
They close they open
They slam on the brakes
The time it took
For this built code
Is far too long
And moving far too slow
Perhaps I’m inadequate
Perhaps my skill’s low
Perhaps it’s just hard
Complicated computations
I’ve tried very hard
I’ve not slept much at all
I’ve not seen the outdoors
It seems it’s years
So please, dear computer
Make my night tonight
Make me happy inside
With a compile to smile about
Test after test
I am hit with defeat
Smacked in the face
Omnipresent beep
Retry and save
Wait and edit
Round and round
The circle we go
Fighting fears
Deadlines ahead
Fighting gears
Mind spinning instead
Longer hours means
No sleep tonight
More to do
Relentless
I’m almost through
Blended, loved, with fringe
The school boy walks unhinged
Books and brown bags
Hand-me-down old rags
Time is still for some
Passing cars
I pay no care
But the words of friends infringe
Daily wars
Slicked down hair
Letters and letters; loose-leaf
Cool, cool, cool, cool
I like that, that works for me
But no, lets not do that
That’s no good for me
We’ll forget we mentioned that
Did you remember about this?
I was thinking we should add that..
Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…
Can you please send me an email update
What’s your ETA on completing the algorithm?
We’re getting close to the deadline
I’m not sure we should waste our time on that
I’ve thought of this, but decided with that
I can’t make that work, so we’ll put that in the bugs
And that, yeh, that’s a problem
Email…Email…Email…Email…
Edit, redraft, update, edit
Can you please put together section 2 for me
I’ve gone ahead and made the changes
It should be good to go now
