Author notes
Yet another weird poem (if you can call it that).
This is mainly intended for the programmer audience of AP/SW, but if a "non-coder" (to use a phrase) understands it, then I'm happy.
Programmers are welcome to translate it to other languages, just IM me with the code and I'll add it in, credit will be given. Thx!

Respect to the creator
Well done Page!!! Knowing a bit about programming I was not thrown by the "syntax" if I may. The whole coding effect does it for me. You do poets and programmers proud! Keep it up. -
thank you sophonax for the wonderful comment. Actually it is Python, you can get it at www.python.org
Take care! -
Haha, very clever idea. Being a programmer(wannabe) myself, I can really relate to this. It's done well, although in the middle verse ("I.do() not understand...") the dots seem a little overdone, I can't think of anything that would require so many, maybe change them to simple spaces or something. Good stuff, great idea too. Looks like Visual Basic, or .Net to me, am I right?
Lol keep it up.

brilliantly done dude!!!

I was given a link to this to see what I thought of it. I must say when I first read it I thought (What the Hell) but being one not to judge at first sight, I re-read and read again.and started to get an understanding of it I then copied and removed the symbols and signs then read again,then i could see what you were getting at.I have no knowledge of computers except as a typewriter.so it made little sense to me,until i remove the symbols that were distracting .This is a very inventive piece ,and while not what I am used to reading was none the less very interesting .It is good to push the boundaries of poetry Well done And thank you for a new experience

This is a test for the mind. I thought it was really neat. To view with all those programmer thingies. (smiley face shoud go here)

oh my, Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now this is truly something special, ppl are gonna start thinking things the way I'm commenting on your stuff, but ja, excellent, brilliant, just awesome write, stunned and speechless!
-
too cool
this is really neat, I love it! -
Love this, something I've never remotely come across before. Although I'm certain I don't understand this perfectly (though what poem do we ever understand fully?)I do get the idea, and I'm certainly intrigued. Thanks for sharing, your creativity astounds.

AWESOME
Awesome i loved it.....im cold ......but yeah it awesome.....really im not just saying that.......damn it cold in here.......-sigh- i wish i could write like that.....now i sh'all applaud you if it will let me......-cries-man i really wish i could write like that i really really do....lol......no i sh'all look at all you outher stuff......really....i hope there as good as this one though......yeah so hmmmmmm thats about it.......i think.....oh yeah it i miss spelled some word its becaue im cold yeah ive allready told you I think well if i didnt know you kno......keep it up and good luck
-Kelsea
P.s awwwwwwww -
i admire the "unique" even if i can't fully understand it
i can understand not quite fitting into society's idea of "normal" even though i'm not a programmer
i think you've done a great job with this...it holds a message for everyone and a bold statement to society (cliques) in general
i applaud the poet and the poem
-
Oi Page , you did it again
-
Bravo !!!
I'm no programmer either, but I admire your sentiments. I read it mainly because I wondered how something could be spiritual and wierd at the same time. I wasn't sure what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised by your work. Thanks for the read and hope to see more of your creations in the future 
-
well i have to be honest i dont get it! sorry! seems like its about something new something special for someone and it obviously means loads to them so well done xx
-
awww you're making me blush
Thx for the nice comment, I hope to keep dishing out some more strange stuff, you know, find something interesting
Stay tuned!

BRILLIANT
OK.... well, I am no programmer, but after reading this a few times I do 'understand' what you are saying in this new creation of yours. And yes it is very true indeed. Living with a programmer in the house has taught me a lot about them, above all that they are very very creative beings that take the expression "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level. I love the new line you're taking with experimentation in your writing, it promises many more interesting writes to come.... Keep it up.
Keep well. -
lol thx, glad you liked it, now let's see what the other ppl here think of this *bites nails* hehehe
And yes it is python (my all time fav language). I'm looking for versions in C++ and PHP...oooh la la
