almost the voltage of a riddle, there is the inviting
blue
of a square screen and an arrow to search with; but
to who's
mind should the distance of my view be
linked?
every one is gathered, silent as stones waiting to
speak, curved
as the space which surrounds the waiting to
be awakened
the navigator's spelling of directions. So overlaid, the
sound
of icons, I release a pilot-thought; inside for the
outside,
serving the water of my cells, growing wings
dust collected by the motherboard coheres in her
terminal
and from the magnetic field -- another life
form
moonlight breaks through the barrier of books, zips on
keys
and slowly, with some rays well-focused, highlights
the letters
b - r - i - d - g - e
such fancy fretwork -- the howling synthesizer -- the
matrix
of earthly sounds pushed to its limits reflects the
stars
Hollywood types, apeshit over new bodies driven by the
appetites
of VCRs cruise the pathways of restaurants,
diner and lounge
to prove you are where you eat
fed up, the browser acts like Marilyn Monroe asking
through shaking
teeth: hard - where? please touch
"enter"
in her C-drive, the root directory rejects soft-ram,
installed
animalistic, alas, there is no enhanced memory
thought there are
sheet stains of unknown origin
is there a parrot back in the wire-jungle,
the zoo
owner's chain keeping him from flying off?
indices full of foreign expressions the manual trains
us
ambidexitously to set-up (instead of sit-up), copy
(when nothing
is there) and to delete and undelete, search
and rep
a previous field where a paintbox electrifies
the
sounds of unexperienced dark turning matterclick, click
the cursor way of drawing
now to move that...
twisted! click! hum art recedes -- out the window the
colorful
world dims to one light dot -- zap and the power
is gone
during a talk with an unsaveable voice
the mouse rests
under a straightened forefinger
a warning for the cat, the screech of a trapped
tail
it's just the modem asking for a fax, hours
later,
then watching a machine shape your words in my
printer
celebrated beyond the monitor, Good Friday:
several
other homicides are disc-stored in an encyclopedia on
the legend of the dogwood flower -- how much is hidden
in our knowing -- the secrets are all there -- no theirs
-- we are our own mystery -- how to find the button which
accesses...
Help, nested in shift + patience, I throw lead
and
bait alerting the dialog-box
here, during a regular breathing period, the anonymous
partners start a chess opening till he,
with a shy
move, makes her black king look shaky
a crow glides over the cliff from his bird's-eye
view
zoomed in for a message -- take care of your
rook
"quarterly formatted" (wrong punch?) Jenny's
rencoon
nibblefumbles Chicagokettles' bones;
winter-wash,
how cabalistically his tailspin softens the
porch

edis-yb-edis
side-by-side, magnifying the lower portion of a
window;
it hums; Carol draws on memory:
"are those
mellow melting moments milk of mine?"
a small bowl in the back of the virtual refrigerator:
an orange
tinged mass waves light greenish heads on the
web
menu-bar, the tongue of an ox-symbol guides
you
through an aisle of udders - find the season juice,
e-mail it
and salaam! to the slits of a veiled partner in
Abu-Dhali
web crawling, fingers visiting exotic places the eyes
tire
the auto goes songless, sharpened by a graphic
file
okay to exit and into combining commands
I trace an
orphan: found by sound, a mammal appears
genes
manipulated, wings were ears used to be
group and ungroup, arrange end attributes, snap to
grid
the football season has begun to expose: monsters in
nets
frozen to his ball, the face masked, the player
in a
cloud of yelling stumbles -- touchdown!
above the
floodlight, in its own game: the quarter moon
cheers! the megabyte file is found -- a
friend
warmth from the flaming message -- I will for
you...
the new Tab Works a grandson sends me Reach
Out
generations connected to different terminals
how
specific the cables; how generous the packaging
unwrapping wishes, they rotate as objects; shaping
them,
to which transcendence they wish to be applied?
task-switcher- empty nest syndrom
retraining goes
back to City college; cd/ to change direction
someone with
a twinkling eye
I search for the Fool-Tool - click -
black-out
an earthquake leaves me with a fear of
fractals
destination: the jump-to-field
anchored in solid
rock the music blasts
linked, jinxed, proofread the spell
check's errors
the donkey of my homepage trots into space; long
ears
listen - may the virginal waves take it temporarily
on?
