The Story, So Far: Marcus Speh
«I’m an online writer. Apart from a few print publications, I can only be read online. Sometimes I feel “online” is like a birth mark: can’t get rid of it. Goes with you everywhere. Obscurely related to your gene pool. Not pretty perhaps but, in the right light, one might take it for a giant tick or for a smudge.
Of course “online” is not a smudge. It’s the dog’s bollocks, the bee’s...

Dirt
DIRT by R E FORD
Diamonds in rough times withstanding the crude men in tumultous suburban and city lifestyles, girls hanging low in bars feeding off of cruel jokes, hopefully America manifests the broken; the ones ascending to utopian like futures.
Sexual misfortune, casual, gripping at its best, she stood drenched, fondling and gone for her life was easy with grace and intelligence.
There is...

a weekend of literary hypertext
Hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson attended for a first-hand look at Tinderbox as a hypertext system. Nelson is a well-known avid note-taker, who was never without a tape-recorder, pen, and paper, and he had several interesting contributions and ideas for future iterations of Tinderbox. Nelson also honored attendees with a demo of both ZigZag and Xanadu interface implementations.

The coded feather in the glass
Amulets of sapphire Those pretty glow worms of the fragrant tree ceremony That twinkling array Under the moon Starlit graphite sailing on the drifting canal It simply softens for the migrant workers Their arms reach up towards the high bridge Casting their own shadows on the cherry grates Breaking the news to the fanciful coalition I am a reader of thoughts Salient...

SMASHING MY HEAD
SMASHING MY HEAD by Tim Young
I’m thinking of smashing my head
Up against a wall
I’m thinking of the hurt and pain
And it’s damn easy ‘cause thinking don’t
Require action
No action like moving limbs or
Lifting the body into
Strenuous positions
Only mental activity
Mental in my mind
Blowing like wind in the chimes
But don’t be deceived
Because it’s not a pretty song
Hiding its face like the...

BLACKROCK
Always say you hunger for me then maybe it will be true Puss in Boots as you strut the saddest tale by the Liffey its iron lacing. I can only make this walk with you so far huffing thrusting like a crowd at the hastening the longest walk. Wait for me pale blue child meet me at the edges make me peril of your hush heavy hands a farmer’s boy fond of my obscenities waves of unknown...

If Only I Were a Kitten by Darryl Price
If Only I Were a Kitten
Some famous singer would write A song about my broken face And beg on my behalf for a New set of whiskers, some warm bed. I haven’t tasted any milk In so long I can’t even think What it should feel like going down. Sometimes I dream of owning my Very own water fountain. I Could fill up everybody’s cups All day long for free. Nobody Could say a...
