Rinse And Repeat

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 14, 2021 

Rinse and
repeat.
In the
beginning
the programs
were written
and installed.
Programmers
dutifully
toiled away.
Spinning
infinite
potential.
Only
to be
tweaked
along
the way.
Subtle
differences
to be
sure.
Underlying
though the
programs
ran.
Ran as
written.
Generation
after
generation
humanity
repeats.
Tendencies
repeat.
Personally
types
repeat.
Watch
closely
and the
programming’s
laid bare.
