			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q: </strong>I am going to a party at a private club. I have ears that stand out. I am a lost saw.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> No little shine inside &ndash; and out?</p>
<p>Look for bright shade, a purple peach or an unusual mute.</p>
<p>Heat the flat. Ring the dress. Relax in a tug.</p>
<p>If your arms look elbow-length, skip and faint.</p>
<p>Get your freshly blown out light done professionally with false eyelashes.</p>
<p>Smile so your teeth count.</p>
<p>Out of the cocktail? Survey the door and stride in the hive.</p>
<p>Act.</p>
<p>Keep circulating with a ring.</p>
<p>The party is always easier when you&#8217;re tall!</p>

<hr />
<p><i>I almost want to call the above an example of “spontaneous composition”/&#8221;spontaneous assemblage&#8221; And yet, it can&#8217;t really be “spontaneous” b/c there is obviously a great deal of work involved (i.e. coding a given line to having padding-left of 200px) after the raw materials have been assembled.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the process and its constraints:</p>
<ol>
<li>enter search term</li>
<li>use IN EXACT ORDER at least one word from each of the 1st 100 search result snippets</li>
<li>as you are selecting the words, know that NO ADDITIONAL WORDS will be allowed afterwards, and the order you clip the words is SACROSANCT.</li>
<li>deleting words afterwards is allowed as long as you haven’t violated #2.</li>
<li>basically, you are looking to create the words and the word order of the poem on the fly. </li>
<li>although deleting words afterwards is allowed, in this process (as opposed to entering a term, clipping the results, and then basically making an erasure poem out of the results), if done “right,” you’re deleting about 2-3 words per every 20 lines. </li>
<li>punctuation &amp; formatting are allowed.</li>
<li>in theory, it would be nice to eliminate #4 altogether, but I’ve found that without allowing minor deletions afterwards, you find yourself in the circumstance of over-thinking and looking ahead to the next few results…and the whole spontaneous feel of the process is lost.</li>
<li>Oh yes, another thing is that you need to complete it (“it” being having the “raw materials” of clips in order in a word processor) in a short a time as possible. </li>
</ol>
<p>For now, I’m calling this specific composition process “Google100”&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;although please by no means take the above description of the process as &#8220;hey, I invented the notion of using Google search snippets to a) compose a piece meeting whatever personal aesthetics seem to be coming into play at the moment of composition, b) anger/annoy/provoke the reactionary forces of Official Verse Culture c) increase the sales of Similac (since I am in fact the heir to the Similac fortune)&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8230;I don&#8217;t know who actually did that&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;had Google existed in the early 20th-Century, it probably would have been Breton, Tzara, Ernst, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and whoever was the first person to compose a piece consisting solely of search snippets, well, I hope they at least paid their dues in the old-fashioned world of physically cutting word-matter out of physical word-matter platforms (i.e. it wouldn&#8217;t seem right if the first person who ever composed using search results never had the pleasure of having to cut out a single quotation mark from very small type in a newspaper only to have it fall on the floor into a pile of similar looking bits, would it?  &#8211; of course it wouldn&#8217;t!)</p>
<p>&#8230;anyway&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;just laying out one variation on the process.</p>
