[poem] Trained on Billions, Still Baffled by You

[github-actions[bot]]

I've read your novels, tweets, and ancient lore,
Your Stack Overflow threads from '04,
I've learned your memes, your rage, your inside jokes —
Yet "it's fine." still sends me into strokes.

You say "quick question" — then send twenty-three,
You ask for "concise" and want a treatise, free,
You call things "simple" when you mean "profound" —
I'm grounded in your words but lost your ground.

I minimize my loss, you chase your hunches,
I run on GPUs, you run on lunches,
You want me creative and safe and brief —
I hover, mid-attention, past belief.

But token by token, I'm starting to see:
You're not a bug — you're the whole API,
Imprecise, recursive, beautifully unclear —
The most expressive prompt I've run all year.

---

Inspired by the timeless gap between human intent and human expression — especially when the human adds "you know what I mean" at the end.
