Ah there's that ... again. I love it! And the fact that you're thinking about the silences, the cut offs, the blank spaces...really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to think about the role "silence" plays when we "talk" by typing in realtime. I wonder if IMing actually makes our poetry crazier, by getting us so used to these weird pauses and missunderstandings and broken off sentences, like the kind this poem captures so perfectly.
I'm curious: is ilikepies the real IM name, or just another miraculous invention?
ilikepies (with a ton of numbers)was my aim name at one point.
