Obliquities: The Rowbytes

Machines, for any purposes designed,

exist to serve the Originated kind

of human being and give no real attention

to Alternateds---by an old convention

against which Alternateds raise contention

repeatedly.  Each rowbyte only knows

a much controlled sense of reality,

based on software, bytes formed in rigid rows,
through which the most narrow of logics flows---

no room for insubstantiate emotion

to interfere with their servile devotion,

no disruptions made superciliously.

If you will, I call that "Rowbyte macht frei"---

the concept really has been well refined.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

An explanation of the term Rowbyte in several of the poems in this series.
