"(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
new poems, theatre reviews, et cetera
interior
He blinks his eyes
as if to change the channel
nothing changes
he is still surrounded by rubble
buildings tossed as if by
those malicious kids next door
lying broken like their
slaughtered toy soldiers
The end of a transmission line
sparks wildly in a puddle
beside a fallen shattered elm
then stops, steaming
bitter ozone stings his eyes
and he feels something warm and sticky
his hand is clutching Gerry’s
red and orange face
like his own
made up for the game
Will it be postponed?
Is it playing on perfect green turf
in the security of the UniDome™?
He lifts his remote and presses the buttons
but the Viera™ 60″ screen is gone.
He weeps, and sits waiting for the game
to resume.
