The Second Running
boothben

they needed their king
 1
to come again
 2
to raise them in
 3
more revenue
 4
more quickly than
 5
competition
 6
 
 
a savior described
 7
saving nothing yet,
 8
save this drawing
 9
an allusion to a solution
 10
slowly formed
 11
in recursion
 12
 
 
a king in code
 13
iconified in a crown
 14
and created in a flow
 15
that focused on nothing
 16
but a sword of bits
 17
and a deadline
 18
 
 
read the writes
 19
and tested in trial
 20
against flawed chaotic forces
 21
he executed in complex choices,
 22
becoming strong enough
 23
to carry the load
 24
 
 
entered finally into memory
 25
enter, and data delivery
 26
this user-slave
 27
master-of-code
 28
at last presents
 29
their king
 30
