...Feeding an imagination

Reading between the lines;
between the sheets;
joining the dots;
filling the gaps;

Finishing other peoples
sentences.

Freed from the
compulsion for
everything.
Choosing what
and what not
to read.

Browsing.

...from which in good time I'd emerge

When I first began
reading I needed
a physical crutch:
I had to follow
the control flow
of a program text:
I had no idea of what
it would mean until I'd
explored every loop and branch.
Like a blind mouse wandering
through a labyrinth
to its very end.

Later on I
coped on less;
and less meant more:
Each unvisited branch
- a virtual limb -
not absent
yet not present:
Feeding an imagination.

... I got hooked, once and for all,
on the narrative thread.
I just couldn't let go;
Each lexical morsel
led inexorably to another;
in sequence
as nonsense
made sense
As Clotho spun
my first worldy garment
a cocoon from which
in good time
I'd emerge .

I am seeking ...
Light - my cave is dark;

Unable
to unpeel myself;
to reveal myself;
inside;

I am seeking ...
Proof - that I work;
a
zero
knowledge
proof - of my private interface.

In my beginning is my end:

stopping only to start
a new chapter
- of a book
never to be completely read;
ink from a well
- never to run dry;

Travelling:

1001 winters' nights - through
4 quartets - on
3 slices of magic pudding;
2 fishes with bread; and
1 golden egg;

A correct use of soap:

No yellow fog - dogging
No machine - logging
No middle ground - hogging

Let us go then you and I
like spiders dangling down from on high;
Depending on a common thread,
traversing an ancient web;
Spinning tales that bind our pages,
weaving texts to cross the ages;
