Oulipoems, Interactive Electronic Poetry

A social drama took place in 2003. I was observing a mixed income neighborhood on the borders of a low socioeconomic enclave. The sidewalk, unmaintained by the municipality, contained evidence of substance abuse. I noticed the religious institution. A poorly groomed individual approached this writer. Lacking funds for a watch, he had to rely on others in the community if he was to be on time for his appointment with the social services. I told him exactly 5:47:06 Eastern Daylight Time. He continued toward his goal. The weather was average for the time of year.

Notes

« The six works presented in "Oulipoems" range from poems, to poetry games, to tools for writing poetry. They are inspired by the Oulipo movement, a French literary movement which combines writing and mathematics. Members of the Oulipo create works of literature that are governed by rules ("constraints"). For example, all words might have to contain only the vowel 'e' or words might be spelled phonetically. Members of the Oulipo are also interested in algorithmically generated texts, including, especially, text-generating machines which can result in an infinite, or at least very large, number of different texts. »
