i find myself returning to this piece i earlier composed ... the material was extracted from a website (a piece of e-lit in itself) that contains every tweet with the word "lonely" in it. it updates every thirty seconds or so and i copied and pasted the following tweets into a body of text:
hey sounds like you're lonely and I'm lonely so let's be lonely together I get so lonely sometimes I just be so sad I feel lonely and completely abandoned this weather makes me feel so lonely I'm lonely :( I'm not afraid of being alone I'm afraid of being lonely no one has visited me since March I AM LONELY I legit called Dave so I wouldn't feel lonely as I went to go throw away the trash I HATE ME Harvard square makes me feel lonely if you're ever feeling lonely just look up at the moon someone somewhere is looking at it too Olive Garden for dinner cause I'm lonely and cold I'm starving and I'm miserable and I'm lonely it's crazy how you can have so many people around you who love you yet you still feel so lonely kill me why do I feel so lonely do not feel lonely the entire universe is inside you we get so lonely we pretend that this works
i could continue to compile these tweets and publish them in a book as a contribution to the field of e-lit? hmm
i am also interested in the works that we've visited in class that deal with other people's works. by this i mean: the artist who rewrote beowulf with chief keef lyrics, or morrison's rewriting of heart of darkness, the garden of forking paths, etc.
i find myself wanting to do something with the poems of bukowski. one idea i had was to text message with people using lines from his poems. i'd screen shot the conversations and publish them into a book or do an iphone screen recording and make a video.
that's one way to use his work...or i could make him the instagram he never had...or find another way to use his poems in a piece of e-lit...
