   Niku.
closesocket(1)
   |
And, here we find poor Niku Codepo's decomposing body
laying in a field, flesh consumed by parasites and
subsumed by an emerging skeletal structure, and 
the environment itself. Niku's vit/lit[er]al
organs con/sub/sum/ed/ing by ergodic code
   |
'neath the stars, 'neath the world,
   | Niku Codepo sleeps with worms.
   |
state = closed
