Code Poem - Hannah Weiner

[watchmirrorgun]

While (the dawn) break;s

Stuck into the snow

Matchsticks and whistling dust

While (the dawn) break;s

Against the thought of a younger

Let younger = stronger

Let stronger = weaker

Let weaker = younger

And go to matchsticks

Go to the closing

Whimper

Whistle

Whittle

Two broken glasses at closing time

One napkin left balling in tupperware

Demonstrate that person is equivalent to no person

And there will be no audience left to witness

Stuck into matte hair, gum hair, pulled at the scalp

Flickers of dandruff, like fireflies, like small stars against black sheets

Do keep running fingerpads over the back of knuckles

Keep whittling

Until the brush runs flat

./code --poetry                            This website displays a collection of twelve code poems,  each written in the source code of a different programming  language. Every poem is also a valid program which produces  a visual representation of itself when compiled and run.    An expanded version of this collection is also available  in full colour print and e-book formats. These books contain  five new and exclusive poems in addition to the poems on  this website. 

a project by Daniel Holden and Chris Kerr.

Poem: Bryan Woods

Author's note:    I've recently become fascinated by the idea of creating art that destroys    itself when consumed. For example, digital albums that remove themselves    from their web servers after being downloaded once, computer programs that    slowly corrupt themselves, etc.        This is the first project I've completed with this goal in mind.    These poems, which are meditations on disintegration, will slowly be    destroyed by each person who reads them, one character at a time.        I have deleted the only copy of these poems in order to allow you    to take part in truly destroying them.
