Ok, my poetic sense is the lowest of the world, but I think this is
not poetry, but meta-poetry. In as much as that "stanza" term refers
to poetry, which it doesn't, in this case ; it is reused in some
software systems to denote just some section of configuration
(usually) text.
That said, some code exhibit poetic value, and some comments may also.
But I find it rather more like mathematical beauty than like poetry,
which as I said I'm quite unable to appreciate anyways, so I'm no
authority on that subject.

end of the hack run, no time to wait,
wily paren slinger stops, jams local state.
"that should take care of it,
eyes sore, can barely sit!"
zonks under black sun, dreams only vocal fate.
tomorrow, rested, returns, not yet coding-sated,
in fallow, untested, reopens each file unweighted.
"risky, th{y,ou} art, permit me to ask,
intend ye to ply, to cry, or to masque?"
perplexed? no, not one who can hurry, belated.
