Written in response to a Digital Writing Month prompt.
Love the “function” commands there. (Sort of heard the soundtrack to Schoolhouse Rock — you can see I spend my days in an elementary classroom). And I loved “…our heads will end up here” as a great poetic line.
Thanks for sharing

Joyce Code? Joyce Programming language?
I’m sure that zombie Joyce would be playing with programming languages today! The challenge with bringing Joyce together with electronic code is how much in Joyce is random and how much of it means multiple things and/or not-quite things.
