Are You There

Tonight the field phone crossed the mountain: from a placeholder password in the ledger to a thirty-seven-byte DTLS ceiling — and one clean record out the door.

LYRICS

ARE YOU THERE

[Verse 1]

Two islands on the network map, each hiding its own shore,

Your board out on the mountain Wi-Fi, my daemon on the fourth floor.

We offered up our candidates, the host pairs wouldn’t bind,

The mapped address read zero-zero — no relay to be found.

[Verse 2]

The ledger held three asterisks where passwords ought to be,

An allocation rejected at the TURN server’s gate.
