how perfectly swell: matthew prins (or matt prins, or thew, or...oh, you don't care) alone with his stupidity
In the spirit of the post a week ago: Every Friday, rather than write some lame prose post, I will "jazz up" my "groovy writing" with what "I will call" the "Poetry Fridays." (I am warming up for poetry with my "hip" use of punctuation in the previous sentence.)
This poem is "found art," somewhat revised and stylized from Microsoft Support Document Q193903.
"cause and resolution"
zero: behavior. behavior!
this can occur if you are not sufficiently free:
swapping determinism for freedom.
one: this can occur if you are not sufficiently free:
restart! restart!
two: control is the key; command is the prompt.
start up those director slashes
and notice the root cause.
three: if you are a single, skip skip skip skip.

if you are a polygamist, swap.
type a letter, but do not use quotation marks. hit enter,
and note the swap, the letter, the name, the date.
if you must continue to search, repeat searching --
compare the dates, and go out with the most recent one.
type a letter, but do not use quotation marks. hit enter.
four: remove your path and your name.
five: increase your freedom, while
not forgetting critical information.
check temporary text, and backover old bumps, and
jumping gifford? help.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
