Grill smoke curls through fluorescent haze
Eggs flip steady in their grease-glazed maze
Truckers grunt for hot black coffee
Ferry horns blow long and lofty
Oculars pulse in dusk's blue glow
Data streams where cold winds blow
Code compiles on sandstone ledge
Sydney lights blur at the edge
Harbor static hums low and deep
Two worlds waking while the harbor sleeps
Grease and code on salt-worn stone
We watch the dawn break on our own
Bacon sings on cast iron skin
Orders called from worn vinyl din
Salt air bites the stainless steel
Ferry wake cuts slow and real
Harbor static hums low and deep
Two worlds waking while the harbor sleeps
Grease and code on salt-worn stone
We watch the dawn break on our own
Firewall cracks at three AM
System logs don't condemn
Packet loss and egg-y
