This is what we back on the home forum call a remix: taking someone else's title or inspiration or opening line and turning it into something different. If you want the original, it's here. It's both fairly technical and fairly religious, which I thought would be a fun mix hope you like; I'm still figuring out whether I do.
HOW NOT TO MAKE A HUMAN
[Creator:\program\human\brain]
Champagne corks and matinées
for children: printing fantasies
of executing love - a fragile thing,
when errors make it L.U.S.T.
Garbage dump: Recycle Bins
and rebound fucks, embedded
in the code for life.
Your Father - Searching: term not found.
The manual reads back to front
or left to right: a hieroglyphic,
Chinese-whisper syntax out of joint,
compiling broken hardware in the dark;
the overheated warning system,
gasping out the crashed, untimely birth.
Round glasses on eternal eyes, pushed up
to rub the bridges of Your nose; invite
each spawned illegal soul to complicate,
and love the hacker and the virus both.
