Description
Elongated strips of consciousnessflow smoothly from these fingers.
See them dance
like pallid spiders with only five legs
and blunt, fleshy feet.
These digits act in a unified manner,
faithfully conveying electric pulses
from the mass of tissue contained
within
my
skull.
“Aha,” the quivering meat exclaims,
“I have just used the ‘tab’ key three
times
in
succession!”
“Twice,” it mutters in afterthought.
. . . and still the digits carry on
their gruesome task,
blissfully ignorant of the mediocrity
that their labors will produce.

Yeah, I realized that as well . . . after I already submitted the poem. I guess I'm just too darned lazy to change it now. DA isn't quite as poetry friendly as it could be, but better than myspace.

I had the same thing happen with the tabs... I had to go back and insert bunches of spaces. You can copy a bunch of them together (however many looks like a tab to you) and paste them where you want a tab to go. It feels retarded (and it might be), but it worked for me, okay? If anyone else has a better idea, please share it with me.

do you like Terry Pratchett? It seems to have that sort of feel to it...I have no idea why, it just does!

I guess you'd describe him as a comedy/fantasty/parody writer. He's written a series of books about a planet called the Disc World which is carried around the universe on the back of a giant tortoise and is supported by four elephants.
They're sort of fairy tale satyre. It might sound completely different to the sort of things you've written, but there was something you had written, just the way you had phrased something, that reminded me of him.
I really like him...he's the sort of author who can make you laugh out loud, which I really admire...don't know what you think. But I would recomend giving him a go. If nothing else you'll never really reads anything like it again. The first in the series is called The Colour of Magic. The Light Fantastic was the second one but there are literally dozens in the series.

I like it, strangly poetic... yet utterly rediculous. Genius.
