Ben is a good brother

I'm so sad that Ben doesn't get to see Lily that often since, if I remember it correctly, he moved in with Aiden after the whole thing with him fighting. I'd like to think that before her birthday, Ben took Lily to a park to catch up and bond with her.

Ben is a good brother, and he makes me cry

You read because you think I'm writing to you. That's something understandable. I write because I think you read me. That's something terrible. _________ Lees porque piensas que te escribo. Eso es algo entendible. Escribo porque pienso que me lees. Eso es algo terrible. Ben Clark

In an age when timelessness is measured by the number of likes, and the most memorable thing in our lives is the last Cat(s)-related Video we watched on our FB news feed, one could say that the closest thing to literary eternity for 21st century writers is to go viral. A couple of years ago these lines by Spanish poet Ben Clark took over la Internet. Bloggers and trollers started interpreting and using this poem in the most 'unliterary' (read: mass culture-like/non-arty-sublime) fashion: inserting it in memes, debating its meaning in Yahoo Answers, using it as formulaic tweet-reply. It all goes down to the PERVASIVE question of: What's the place of poetry in La Internet?!?
