I went to Siggraph
to see all the sights,
all the pretty things
made by tiny lights.
I went there thinking
I might want to do
computer graphics
for a year or two.
Ev’rything looked fun,
no one was a jerk,
but I left knowing
it’s also hard work.
As fun as it was,
it did not feel right;
I think it’s because
I just want to write.
Write lovely stories
and not lines of code,
used to create some
new graphical node.
