Default midnight loft
Brewed ideas coughed
Bitfed landscapes show
Through phosphor wisdom glow

Into compiled code I peek
Festering bugs I seek
And your defined structures
Obsessive questions breed

Is it your driver that leaks
Daft magnanimous semaphory?
And thus a trusty system flips
In shivery user allegory?

Until I know, I cannot sleep
Ominous artefacts, screen blink,
Assailed devices that fail adrift
Foretell another graveyard shift

If, your keys I rap
Then, your chips I tap
And firewalls I raise
Do flippant hackers dare besiege?

Thus my dear we shall live
In synchronous periodic glee
While my media burns efficiently,
Beside my trusty bitbox
I span tweens of ecstasy
