exercising the tercet
humanista- in an attempt at your form, this came out instead- at least an homage to the chivolian tercet:
only innocent
in love
and toll plazas
my girl
circles the night
from the balustrade
the airplanes
are all
chasing something
a pail full of sloshing water
bailing out the basement
of fish and frogs
to be fat
and rich
and wise
they took down the doors at the zoo
and the animals stayed in their cages
selling peanuts to passers by
he knows the names of all the dinosaurs
just ask him
go ahead try ‘em
and friday is near
and my girl circles the night
from the balustrade
l a-ro
-some computer advice to a friend (friar waxus maximass of atlanta): ...this is simple, all you need is a hacksaw and a rivet gun; I trust you can procure this material, if it didn't come in the computer's tool kit. You will also need some light sticks and one cup of very strong coffee. The problem with the computer is its animation processor; it needs to be threatened out of its stupor. And those two tools frighten the wits out of it. But you have to be ready to carry your threats to action; even if it means smashing the computer. This is bigger than that one device on your desk-- This is Man vs. Machine. And it's time it was on our terms.

I absolutely enjoy the line: "they took down the doors at the zoo/
and the animals stayed in their cages".
It makes me think how dependent we became of processed foods and big business. Where would we be if we had to start over, would we remain in our cages? Is it being numb from comfort or have we sedated ourselves to a shade of a cripple?

Excelente post, loco.
Word! The main thing I hold against the use of your earth computers is that the can't be romanced of intimidated, which takes a certain joy out of all interactions!
