Sometimes one simply wakes up from MUSH memories and streams of comeuppance, discovers a cat nesting on one's head, and ends up with poetry. There's no possible apology for this.

Sweet Feet And Clover
October 17, 2022

for all that I might code
familiarity is one of horse and rider
wherein both code and I
are both, sometimes good
sometimes one of four
setting out ‘cross LAN

hoof-prints in MUD
layering behind clones
administering woe
year upon year, until
un-dissuaded, pervasive
griefers fall to harvest

there will be no ruin-sympathy
a thousand votes in auspicious voice
sans saddle, sans traces, all named
rightly and with vigor, socks
