It doesn't meet the basic 5-7-5 haiku rule (see http://volweb.utk.edu/school/bedford/harrisms/haiku.htm)

    I personally believe 5-7-5 is too verbose for Haiku when English is concerned. I suggest a more concise 3-5-3, or even 3-4-3, and recommend a bias toward compounded (even artificially) words.

    Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.
    We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.
