The "Poet" is the emotional, reckless spirit who recites Hafez in underground cafes. Their romance is a dance of security versus vulnerability. The Coder wants to meet in a digital fortress; the Poet wants to burn the fortress down for one minute of real touch. The tension here fuels the most popular storylines.
