"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
The flow
Poet has entered the building
Kalashnikovs spurt
attar of nubile iron-manacled
virgins festooned in gold;
rose blossoms
explode in miasmas of rubble
and dessicated corpses,
atom-thin plasma of rose-petal
embraces gyring teflon-jacketed
petitions sprayed indiscriminate;
honking interrogatives rut in croutons
fresh chopped cabbage greens
putrid carrot scrapings.
Sky is ablaze;
dusk promises answers:
copper and amythest prayers
rocket vertical
beseech the Great Something to
pay attention;
It Does:
all prayers are Answered;
everything dies; everything lives—
star-clad virgins writhe;
nothing changes.
