Midwest

all that sky
a flat black
with only a cat’s
eye blazing

people wait alone
wind changes in
the cornleaves
people hear it like
a chord augmented
Houses chip slowly
stranded in snow
Only the sky is fast

...Dirty Milk is a recombinant poem sequence for the Internet, using your computer's microphone as a catalyst for transformation. My goal was to create a unique reading environment for the texts; it is my hope that the hypermedia elements (events triggered by microphone levels and keyboard presses) make Dirty Milk a literary experience unlike any other. cAhHHrumbA yes! bulletarrow.gif - 67 Bytes acess Dirty Milk through lewis lacook's page

If you ever have used Kazaa well here is a good news for you that your IP, host name, isp, and anything you ever downloaded was saved on a log and sent to a agency that is montorig your connection, most likely your isp, in this case it was FastTrack. Now how do you believe me if that is really happening? Well we did a little experiment for outselves to check it out. I downloaded a Motion Picture (Name Removed) from Kazaa lite and then a few days later we get a e-mail from the ISP of the person who performed this test for us, saying how we broke the AUP of the ISP and that we should take matters into our hands. . . read more HERE
