I know this is crazy and doesn't mean anything really
except actually, it does
but try putting an "x" or a check mark
by any line that makes you think or tweaks your brain
maybe not into overdrive
but anything that sinks in past the first level
any resonance at all
hello? is this thing on?
try it for size
tell me anything, the feedback loop is presently open:
"BANDWIDTH"
no cents abusing the wasted bandwidth breath
eMoTiOnAl acoustics
time is money (but money gets in the way)
bless me for I have sinned, therefore I breathe
readings measure produce graphic display
psychological frenquency response brainwaves
soulwaves flutter and wow pop and hiss
spiritual rEsOnAnCe insinuate quality standards in quantity
the thief of time once stolen never replaced
begging, can you spare a minute?
self-published vanity values minimum wage press
gas grass or ass nobody rides free lunch no such thing
witness the 'List:
megs and giggles of hard disk hard choices which words to cut
(too many notes)
reams of paper streams shreds the evidence in six strings
sharp to the tips of flesh biting the mouse pads
toner cartridge use once then search and destroy
little boxes of tikky-takky diskettes
total: one life - reduce, re-use, recycle
ding ding ding: you may already be a winner!
minutes add up to seconds ticking tape parade of magnetic fools
confetti bits everywhere again and
over added up and in stirred not shaken
it's just for spice God's dancing dice don't bruise the gin
patterns pulsing stretching into crowded coded fractal infinity
the byte of Father Time
beware the cosmic bandwidth concerns
the ides of the jabberwocky closed for system maintenance downtime
worrisome a wish on a penny tossed into the universal center
rips yawning black holes in the delicate glittering gossamer web
the threads so fine a fate so thin almost invisible a whisper
blatant dollars displayed in the butterfly's 'Net
blither blather blah-blee-ping
yeah yeah yeah what else
how much is too much?
fair exchange rate both way street keep to your margin
pressed to the edge holding back bandwidth breath suck it in tight
minus feedback traffic piling up rush hour clogged arteries
heart disease lack of blood no muscle food
then it dies unseen the great unwashed suffer the slave
work hard the hand the masters whip
where is wisdom? what is truth?
right and wrong? yours for a song
who foots the bill the handsome rocks the cradle
rules with gold and holds
all the cards, who's got the goods
who pays who says what goes and what doesn't
thou sayest
deep the gravity well black cyber hole connection timed and billed
ten to one it isn't hunger, it's poverty one in ten
donate generously local food piggy banks
and sell your plasma if you've got the veins in your forehead
bulging stomach
and if you can afford the busfare
when the drivers on the concert (thank you, mine) circuit board
the doors (you and yours welcome) will be open at
noon
if the bandwidth will take it
on the wild hair of its chinny chin chin
by the skin of its ghastly grinning teeth
slug one down - even a dark beer is too much money matters
expensive buzz - luxury drink
recent jug of milk - have I died and gone to heaven or what?
caustic interference scritch splatch gwark it's a quark
background static radiation cling the bouncing electrons
wave to the particles
uh-oh, mid-range missing in action - tweeter and thump
nothing lasts, not even this
entropy triumphs amplified planet through speakers of dust
forgive and forget - breathe and let live
just "smile" and eat up that bandwidth chomp chomp chomp
ravenous simply ravenous
they're starving in Africa, and China,
and (even) Spring-a-leak-in-the-roof-field, so eat! eat! manga
there's plenty of everything
and more untold wealth where that came from
but right here it's
silent
(the moon and jupiter)
stomping olympic flesh giants picking up speed of luge
faster and !wilder and !!STRONGER
everywhere the eyes the mirrors the smoke the dance the ghosts the reflections
oooooooh the What Is
go sleep, it's late
...bandwidth closing in
wink out
"-bye"
