woops

is not like other people
the printer, peace
to its prior reputation, runs
on empty, sleeps
in its alcove, speaks in
tongues and diagrams
dreamed up elsewhere inside
a counterpart. communicates
constantly, knows nothing
but production on paper
transparent screen touch
start and stop the process
of the printer. its dialogue
is distant it does its duty
without a word only a hum
like an old instrument a whir
like something shredding

Sprawling archive mind-like seed
planted sprouts to stupidity
colossal columns of music thought miscellaneous
music conceived in a continuum. punks
and dads. days spent
stacking post. filing system freakout.
the endless agenda. where is delete.
public spaceship sending
messages back to reference reckless
amounts of information music
that started playing powering the bulletin
backwards to beginning. the cast
expands to ultra complexity.
each is art. nature. beasts of burden,
carrying the can, constructing walls
around the area, agreeing on everything
almost all the time, spiralling back
around a central subject. who's online.
my messages are me.

“where is delete” - brilliant, that has been such a large part of my Dissensus experience

Put woops to work! If you haven't suggested a topic suggest one. It is compulsory. If you have, suggest another one!

no, never, we are professionals. other people, who try to do the same job as us with less professionalism and skill, get plenty of mean reactions, though.

Poem called Asda for me please
Click to expand...

your aisles are empty of the usual, your
tills ring hollow, your associated
dairies are running dry, this capital
of culture is at low ebb this evening
and you hum to the sound of my headphones, here
distancing itself is distant, the shelves
speak of panic and paranoia, the security
seems twice as tight, the milk
comes curdled into cheese already, there is
no announcement to come to the checkout,
trolleys sit silent in the street like cars
unstarted for weeks, where is the spirit
of consumption in this cathedral

in all honesty though the turnaround on these is impressive, do you actually do these in public? on the street?

It's incredible, isn't it Kumar? They're like athletes, fully in shape, but they need to keep training to stay at this level. Hence, I guess, the thread.
