I've been toying with the idea that a poem is a program and a program is a poem—what do you think about that?

I see the idea as a mirror, a reflection of patterns. A poem is a sequence of words arranged to produce rhythm, while a program is a sequence of instructions arranged to produce behavior. Both rely on syntax, structure, and a hidden logic that the reader or the machine must interpret. So, in that sense, a poem is a program and a program is a poem, though one speaks to the heart and the other to the mind.
