scope creep

scope creep 0.1.5

Download updates daily while you wait
Hit you with that EULA right out of the gate
Left shift right shift there is no debate
It’s our fate while our masters set the trap with the bait

Memory degrades at an insane rate
Migrate it to the cloud before we drown too late
Can’t determine the density of the data and its state
This particular intersection of space and date

Project plans progressed just plainly as you please
With the VP’s reporting everything’s the bee’s knees
But scope creeps out from the dream like a disease
Causing application freeze when the subsystems seize

By degrees we can see the organism start to grow
Like it’s baking overtaking everything that we know
For those of us that grew up watching Tetsuo blow
Up Neo Tokyo will explode Otomo

Was an oracle predicting how the host would grow
It’s uncontrollable how the boundaries overflow
If it hasn’t been recently read it’s got to go
So we don’t max the bandwidth and jeopardize the show

Don’t I know how memory seems to be fleeting
Especially when your cpu is prone to overheating
Cannot find a KB that can stanch the bleeding
So we’re appeasing the execs for the Monday morning meeting

So the daemons do their scheming while they’re cleaning up the stack
The data’s been ejected and there’s no turning back
Project estimates are going way off track
And we can’t just cram a few more servers in the rack

All black with a little flashing cursor upper left
Can’t get it to boot although your digits may be deft
Dow jones is dropping baby can you feel the heft
Investors are scared they’re unaware of a theft

Bereft of all the memory lost to the leak
Rogue .exe makes the processor peak
Erasing all the past makes the future look bleak
Sneak a peek at what we seek when the market gets weak

It’s uniquely oblique the way I envision existence
With instantiation happening in every instance
Doesn’t say much for our cognitive persistence
End up needing assistance disassembling the distance
