An Attempt to Kick One's Own Butt

---

Camus in my head, Murakami in my heart, Dedalian wings, And Blake everywhere (Eternity);- "I'm a disco dancer"- My feet are miles below. (Wait a sec... um, minute, Let my journey feel their tip.... Ah, yes.) So extensive is the human body! But where-from did Snow come? And then the ouroboros. And what if it, self-consuming, Doesn't grow? Literary gimmicks, That's all. We never grow. But defragmenting With increasing entropy. "Pray, when did you last see a flower sir?" There's a... leaf beneath the front seat. Don't know the name. Will wiki it up Once my journey reaches destination.

love the second stanza...would change "defragmenting" to "defragment" but yes, we are defragmenting in a way--we are becoming a life stored in bytes... computerized...when was the last time we danced, on an actual dance floor...that we played games that involve physical activity..rather than looking at a computer screen... this poem makes me want to go out and play... that leaf beneath the seat....nice touch.. my girlfriend is always saying to me..."look it up" ahhhhh wikipedia... i want to go on there and change all the definitions to something totally absurd. are poets just literary gimmicks now? no heart? maybe maybe jacob

Well, I like it. The first three lines are great. The title is really interesting.
