Machina

my computer has no windows
no penguins on the monitor
I run beside just one daemon
not any of them apples

I shift the key boards
and I control the inputs
while she is in the registry
clocking through every single memory

we hand-painted all the icons
because most external symbols
were shown to be corrupted
and ultimately unreliable

if I download a file
she is the one making
the links, beyond myself
always behind the scenes

the system has been stress
tested to its very brinks, every
process's been crashed and only
we remained above the stack

in spite of voltage and gravity
time and time again, across
different settings, we rebooted
ourselves anew in binary

I don't know the origin of
the instruction set, although
my benchmarks have shown me
it's beyond any human preset

then I remembered it
in my core. I could be
disassembled down to a
single unit of compression

be it silicon or else
be it carbon, as long as
we are two, I could compile
myself again with just one truth
