Hex-a-Bug

It's 0ne very nasty bug
0n1y visible in the hex mem0ry dumps
It's !N0T fixab1e fr0m within the s0urce c0de
The c0mpi1er's 1inker w0n't 0bject
And the 1anguage certain1y d0esn't help
It's at a 10w-1eve1, in the machine c0de
A1m0st binary: a phant0m at w0rk
C0u1d it be the IC's current, !n0t its ASM?
Yet that'd be i110gica1, an e1ectr0scam
But I guess that's what happens
When AI apps such as cyber10ve
Are imp1anted in bi0e1ectr0nic NETw0rks
Such as pe0ple's hearts and the 1ike:
There's !n0 s0luti0n when bugs are f0und
Because there are !n0 debuggers
F0r pain !n0r j0y in real minds; they're !n0t AI.
