 All things' black but the screen.

The silence of the night.

As they sleep, he's unseen.

The clicking sounds so light.

Overheated eyeballs

In ordinary walls.

He's glancing at the time.

It's only a minute.

Like an addictive rhyme,

It's just another bit.

Let me finish this one.

I can't sleep 'til it's done.

Two hours have passed by.

The Earth turns like a sigh.

He keeps wondering why.

Why this thing doesn't work.

Why it's not listening.

Read, analyze, and fork.

The loops iterating.

Counting up, counting down.

If this, then beyond.
