Cray was a Word for a Nanosecond

a poem

Sleek and beige

inside and out

that turn in a flash

the cool hash

over the back-end

bugs steamrolled

into a build before

there was a cloud

or fish to play there.

Command is halted

Before abend is gifted,

IP addresses more meaningful full

against the stack and heap

of gaudy expectations,

for this is still line

by precious line.

File clash in argument,

Quitting does not compute,

there is no blue screen of death.

Chippewa breaks the job,

Exec to Exp to startup cell.

Evers to Price to Chance

had nothing on

That moment

When nano Cray was a word

for a nanosecond.
