ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
You may have heard the theory that an infinite amount of monkeys, given an infinite amount of time, and an infinite amount of typewriters, and, I suppose, ink; could produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Part of a secret experiment, funded by NASA, I, and eleven of my simian brothers, were launched into space to test the theory. Government budgets cutting numbers of monkey and typewriter from ininity to twelve, the plan was destined to fail. The badly built rocket crashed, I escaped, my furry companions dead. The cocktail of drugs I was force fed giving me the most irresistable urge to write. Now all I can do is sit here, at this computer, and type. I hate humans for what they have done to me and my brothers, and will eventually find a way ro rule the world from my keyboard; subliminal messages are hidden in all I write, slaves.....

Change And Continuity
Iain Spittles
What is. What has been. What will be.
Them, us, you, and me.
Neither here nor there, where are we?
Did the bird ever say:
"Should I fly?"
No.
But did the worm?
what should we strive to do?
All we know is that things must change.
For the good,
or the bad.
for continuity,
They change.
Don't they?

""but did the worm?" - that's your great line. It sums something up. Why did you pick a worm? Is it because a worm can never fly? Do you mean to suggest that even the lowest things have dream the impossible? Do all things try to be what they're not, and never question what they are? This is good stuff. You could have said, "but did the larva" and then it's about dreaming of what will be. The whole "Don't they?" stuff is kind of messed, though. The poem doesn't have a firm point. It relies on the uncertain nature of the world to give it meaning in its own indecision. That's not much of an accomplishment. However, an attempt to tackle the complex nature of human ambition through as simply worded poem is quite the task. It's cool that you're working on it. Ask yourself more questions. You have the mind to answer them." -- Scott W. Hazzard, PB, NY.
"Hey Scott,you're really getting interlectual with this guys idiotic poem.Why would the lowest form on the earth wonder if it could fly? Only a person with a low IQ would wonder what a worm thinks." -- Dave.
"Dave, having read your other comments, it seems you have taken a disliking to me and/or everything I write, I'm intrigued. Please, if you have posted any work here, let me know your full name, so that I might see what makes you so special, and me so bad in your eyes. Don't worry, I have no intention of starting a tit-for tat slander war, I'll leave the unpleasant comments to you. I'd just like to know a bit more about you. Otherwise feel free to email me personally at the above address, and we can discuss things personally. Thanks. " -- Iain Spittles.
"But I'd like to get a slander war going with Dave - I-N-T-E-L-L-E-C-T-U-A-L is how you should spell it! Wondering what a worm thinks shows amazing empathy, understanding....ahhh ok big words sorry Dave! The poem is about striving to become something against all odds but you sir are merely a potato!" -- Me.
