Fantastic poem – I thought the movie was very good – saw it last month in a sold out theatre (which is what you get when you see a movie about the father of computer programing in a theatre across the street from MIT). I’d love to illustrate this poem and put it on Illustrated Poetry!

I would be honoured – thank you so much for this response

Great! I will be in touch in the next couple of weeks with a draft of the illustration.

I love the way this poem takes us (the reader) over: our eyes scrolling the text totally at your whim, just cogs in your diabolical poetic machine. I’m not being very articulate and I haven’t seen the movie but I really dig the poem.

articulate or not, I got every word of your comment; that you read so closely is a wonderful gift to me – thank you
