The Second Domino

Haikus

I watch the first one
When it falls I take the rest
Cascade has begun

Twelve follow-ups die
Because one job could not run
Domino effect

Tied to the failure
I only exist to fall
When the front line drops

First one falls right down
Second domino remains
Waiting for the push

Cascade is delayed
System hesitates to crash
Fear is in the code

Nothing touches it
The second piece will not move
Errors stand up straight

Push the plastic block
Watch the database collapse
Gravity wins out

Everything falls down
Record the sequential death
Flat file loves the end
