quick thoughts.

not meant to spam -
but rather to span
the academic realm
of poetica in this,
the 21st century of
poetry that maybe
rimbaud (and rambo
in the 80s) caught
a glimpse of the
colours out of the
corner of their eye
but we have CSS and
can tame the words -
the poetry beyond the
words alone - to the
reader. not necessarily
the page anymore. or the
campfire from days of yore -
the poet going from town to
town to city - Magic Lanterns
not transferred to the world wide
web. and i ramble, but i also invite
you, yes you, to the poetry of the future
generations.

there is a community here which i haven't
reached out to maybe, but i
reach out now and ask
you to bring your
poetic self to
a watering
hole we
can make
the well
of (well
) ee st-
ature p-
oetry not
of apathy
or other
lines that
merely rhyme
and nothing else.

poetry is in our souls.

our blood. it beats -
with a rhythmn, with
a thing that has been
with us (us!) before
we even went from
fire to fire to
tell the tales.

do other poets
realize the
vastness
of the
intra-
web? my
own pet
name or
maybe
yours
too?

join us.

soon.

the poets,
perhaps for
the first time
in a very long time
are able to be connected
together with allegiance not
to the printers but to the read-
ers - each other - poets
conversing in a non-
linear way. weigh
it. join us.
speak to
us. re-
ad us.

heh.

little humor to
go out with.

21st century poet
appealing to the
ivory tower crowd
to let down the lines
and connect the dots in
some real (big) grand way
such as hasn't been done be-
fore. and therefore, the
official poet spokes-
person speaks from
some .org site.

meanwhile,
back at the
ranch, poetry
evolves with
the web, with
the vision of
poets from a-
round the gl-
obe. oh if so
and so wasn't
here, but th-
ey're not. fe
-ar not. are
not. is not.

connect the
virtual dots?

this is live poetry,
with mistakes and all,
raw from my mind to yours,
but with it i want to maybe
somehow gain the attention of
those others who see the word -
see poetry as something that
is good in the world.

stop by. we're starting
to congregate. it's
nice. really.
