Quagmire is an emulation of an impossible 8bit processor, where all memory is addressed in 2 dimensions, and is represented by pixel value. Program execution threads can run up, down, left or right.

In your black eyes
I hoped that I would find
that you were hiding

lit by the glow of a streetlight
you were hiding
you were hiding something
