Marvelous:  The .Doc file of J. Alfred Prufrock. It begins:

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a laptop, put in sleep mode on a table
Let us go through certain half-deserted streets
The blinking-light retreats
Of restless nights in free-wifi cafes
And public libraries with internet
Streets that follow like messageboard argument
of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming blog post
Oh, do not ask, “What, yaoi?”
Let us go and post an entry.

    Love this:
    “I am Babbage, come from the dead,
    Come back to ban you all, I shall ban you all” –
    If one, sending a textmessage, autocorrected
    Should say: “That is not what I typed at all.
    That is not it. LOL.”

    “I have seen cats talking in capslock on the web,
    All up in ur fridge, eatin’ ur food
    When my laptop lights the darkness white and black.”

    I wonder what Alan Jacobs would have to say about it…
