Human Flaws - NaPoWriMo2023 #17
Machines for all their wonder,
for all their worth,
have little defence
against
natural bundled bumbling.
For the machine
is Order,
and Order is logical.
But the spirit
can conjure quirks
to off-balance
the ghost in the machine,
and apply
an unseen poke
to applications.
Errors and failings
that no code of conduct covers;
the unexplained touch
of human
ignorant to innate
anti-technology intentions.
Magic is human after all.

If we ever do come to blows with the machine's uprising, having a friend who can make a computer screen freeze when idle, would be rather handy!
