I proclaim no I!
Language itself weaves the Web, proclaim exclaim

BLAM

Some new thing this Net itself is righting
The sinking world, what drain are we spinning
Alice’s rabbit hole direct to Plato’s cave
Down into up onto over into into into
I am mighty orange buffalo
"This screen!" everybody screams, "is the cave wall!"

Splat splat splat
Spelunk locution echoes
Text text text
It is your text your text your texture
To alter on the altar of whatever you tink
Tinker with the Thinker
Add a single note -- Change the symphony
Now, it is your symphony
Too much passivity makes the Doodles bag empty
Sympathy for the empty throwaway
Honey, the peach salsa has green on it
The cat food from the snaptop can has green on it
The boxed silken tofu has green all over it
The Compaq Presario is covered
With moss and seaweed, creepy kudzu
Mold mold mold
My olde My olde My olde
Why hast thou repetified amplified blown all out
The authorship question authority LurCHes to the podium
As the wOrDs themselves begin dancing
Cavort consort retort blurt love jitter twirl pas de pourquoi pas
A social circle of dancing to eat the fears of the cannot communicate
‘Deeper into the It of It
I cannot sit’

Ahem
Readers, Write!
Writers, Read!

The gorgeous thing, the fantastic rainbow of tears
The magnificent library
The archbishop of rock
The quick response
The ultimate repose
The question of answers
The who should be in the band that kind of day
When the brutal winds of technology
blotted all with green moss. . .
(We have been there with that
mold thing backaways, boss --
--Ah, but this is the buildup to ze Grande Finale,
You crazy youth! You freefall!)

Where the jangling ganglia play and the fly rumors roam
Where hirstory is something you make up as you make up

What is important to remember is respect
Respect respect
If we do not respect respect what will we respect
Loyalty?

That is a good rockin answer to a wake me quick survey
Happenstance leads to questionnaire
I was admiring the peaches as they became pears
Threading water: The slow erosion of the tendency to dichotomize

I am separating my soul out to get it interviewed by the Search Committee

Hey there, you
Will you be there, will you join the Committee?
To analyze the DNA of my hair
Via your Website?
Glottal imprecations threading water?
And a buzz bomb?

Your words are in the crow’s nest
Land, No! Land, No!
We will never land, we are liquid flow
The seas connect at 28.8bps, and the tides
Bring the moon to the bay

All language waits utter your activation
Jumpstart languid possibilities fusing fusion
With play, an explosion in mind
A fullbody wake-up call from your sleeping lover’s dream
The beat of the message in the modem’s handshake
The screen's s c r e a m
I am mighty orange buffalo
