a plea

[scopegate]

more than ever before,
the internet seems to be
filled with
people who write about
their dogs or
a book they
once read
or an
interesting film on t.v.
in a way that doesn't live
or breathe
or do much at all to
provoke or
inspire.

it's been writ that it's like
a bunch of ham radio enthusiasts
lazing around, fingers on triggers,
mumbling "blah, blah, blip, blah..."
into the dynamic microphones attached
to their short- or long-wave
transmitters.

now, I'm as guilty of this as
the next man (this
page of the internet is
a testament to
that)
but please please please
please,
there's just one little favour
I'll ask of you:
don't write
in the third person-
Fred hates that shit.
