what was once an art
is now mongrel bastardization
we have created a monster
bought a poetry translator - amazon
type paragraph - cut and paste
instant poetry!
(caesura not included)
links to every e-zine in western hemisphere
network with the stars
tag your 506 friends relentlessly
until they "get it"
post it once, then post it twice
then post it once again
persistence!
there's the ticket
block? nonsenso!
who's your dada?
random juxtaposition can produce surprising results
or pull a duchamp - readymades, there for the taking
get surreal on their asses
write in archaic dialects
become a linguist - use babylon with gusto
latin - greek - espagnol!
you too are ezra
without even trying!
babylon

Re: babylon
future poetry will be better poetry
it will be easier
we won't need poets
only software engineers
and entrepreneurs
yes the future is electric
the hard part is writing the code for it.
I am just waiting for cheap random poetry emulator.
Alas for the Babylonian poets

Re: babylon
"who's your dada?" -- good stuff, very funny
The words compete
to be next
in the poem.
There is limited demand,
unlimited supply.
They are had for
almost nothing.
The fierce competition
allows the poet to literally
let the words
fight it out
among themselves
to deliver the best net value
for the cost of cognition.

Re: babylon
the second use of the law: conviction of fault. <sigh> guilty as charged...but in this brave new world, what riots will ensue if i don't give them all my iambically-embellished memoir of the life i'd wished i'd had? bad poetry is a tongue-in-cheeky act of peace...with ignorable colateral damages...right... 
very well-written and well-received, with a lot of thought woven between.
