happy new year. here’s a collection of twenty Unix-inspired haikus, strung together in Unix tool style. enjoy.<p>1.<p>Shell whispers commands,
Pipes carry thoughts unseen,
Files wait in silence.<p>2.<p>Awkward, but precise,
Awk scripts slice through data’s fog,
Patterns laid bare, whole.<p>3.<p>Man pages unfold,
Cryptic wisdom hides within,
Seek, and grep shall find.<p>4.<p>Chmod's gentle touch,
Permissions carved from pure need,
Root guards every key.<p>5.<p>Vim’s endless escape,
Insert, delete, and persist,
Lines converge, diverge.<p>6.<p>Git commits my past,
Branches twist like ancient trees,
Merge conflicts linger.<p>7.<p>Screen divides my world,
Windows layer, tasks align,
Detach to freedom.<p>8.<p>Cron breathes life at dawn,
Scripts awaken, work begins,
Time obeys my will.<p>9.<p>Sed rewrites the stream,
Substitutes the broken text,
Streams flow flawless now.<p>10.<p>Curl reaches out far,
Hands grasping at distant threads,
Webs of bytes return.<p>11.<p>Tar wraps memories,
Compressing fragile moments,
Files sleep, safe and still.<p>12.<p>Ps spies on the mind,
Processes reveal themselves,
Kill sends them to peace.<p>13.<p>Df tells the tale,
Disk space vanishes like mist,
Cleanup comes too late.<p>14.<p>Echo repeats me,
A mirror of self’s design,
Command-line mantra.<p>15.<p>Xargs multiplies hope,
Feeding commands endless streams,
Efficiency reigns.<p>16.<p>Top watches the stars,
Processes dance in the void,
Numbers sing their song.<p>17.<p>Find digs through the earth,
Lost files whisper from the depths,
Paths emerge again.<p>18.<p>Nano, humble friend,
Simpler edits, fewer fights,
No escape needed.<p>19.<p>Make builds dreams anew,
Dependencies aligned,
Errors beg repair.<p>20.<p>Unix fades to night,
Terminal's glow flickers still,
Scripts dream of tomorrow.
