Urizen
Part II: Container Magick Defense Operation Alpha
the container, an antibody
sought for changes to capture
the frozen landscape reflected
in a prophet's regress
of a frantic innocence
mirroring a solemn experience
under the pressure,
a symphony imprisoned
in the  ice mountains 
of Svalbard
burning with negations
the sepia tone desert 
rewritable storage cache
shift left then right
node pointer to pointer
bifurcation matrix
red/black binary tree
of life.
the apple becomes a sausage
pluming from a tree of meat
the line becomes
a circle becomes
a figure 8 knot
when twisted
and then the the one 
penetrates
the center of 
zero.
and what the one penetrates
the zero divides
becoming a mere
negation.
there either is
or there is not
the zero envelops what is in what is not
and becomes its
reflection.
the line 
becomes a circle
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)
