Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.

This is Just to Say (by Cato, a tabby cat):

I have stolen
the plums
that were on
the counter

and which

would have preferred
I did not

$ rm -rf project/
