Ages of Code

Duran Mazzana

The words that you read

were born from a wrist,

and aching thoughts

come out as selfish.

 

Against a speedy yield,

what notions slip away?

The sting to find appeal

confuses me today.

 

What is the point

in trying so hard,

and doing the work?

With time comes the art.

 

How do I fit

if I take more time?

And time has no price—

but I do have mine.

 

Has my passion gone sour,

or has it been sour?

Either way it’s put,

I remain a doubter.

 

Weaving a feeling

with letters together

is no longer special—

with plenty pretenders.

 

What is the point 

in saying my piece?

If submitting to schemes

dissolves my beliefs.

 

How do I fit

in ages of code?

Where all that is honed

is now being cloned.
