- I wanted to demonstrate for an upcoming writing jam how poems might manifest in ways other than pigment on paper
- The form is close to a "Kelly Lune" (3 words, 5 words, 3 words)
- Some pieces of of the words broke off, making them even harder to read (hence the translation above)
- A main inspiration came from the idea of forming interesting words into physical objects. "Youtubable" appeared in conversations a few times recently.
- Something about Youtube stardom, how we shine from our cores in a way that's often hidden or distorted, how video makes ghosts of ourselves...
i love this, daniel. my words are not more eloquent tonight, but they are succinct! thank you.
