9999 End of Program, A Metanoia
tomorrow is a special day: nine, nine, ninety-nine
corresponding to computer code
encountered at that cyber node
at the end of my program line
i will celebrate tomorrow by emptying my cache
many tapes to be overwritten
bytes in memory that aren't fitting
algorithms to dump to trash
general protection faults abounding:
my needs to be right and to be perceived so
to be consulted and understood, to know
alarms within me ever-sounding
invalid parameters finding
emotional habits of fear
neuroses always near
defense mechanisms binding
my dignity and "worthies" feeding
image of God ever-distorted
leaving self and others broken-hearted
crtical error requires deleting
a program, conditional love, of course
has many programs crashed of late
must find a way to terminate
love's fatal virus or trojan horse
soon with code rewritten, every line
end of virulent program executing
in metanoia and with grace rebooting
gonna party like its nineteen, ninety nine
9/9/99 End of Program: Conditional Love
