Here's an idea, the most important part of this hypertext
poem is the discontinuity, the sudden displacement of the
reader. The drunken path upon which the reader wavers around,
somehow allots him a cure for his myopia...
"The text as a whole and as a singular whole may be compared to
an object, which may be viewed from several sides, but never
from all sides at once" (Paul Ricoeur) Does hypertext allow the
reader to view text like an object, from all sides at once?
(disagree/agree/whatever)
Some interesting questions were raised @
(http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/authors/glazier/e/critics.html)
a few being:
I can sympathize with the author's idea of form. However, can a
technology (html) constitute a form? What's the subject of
this? Whither narrative?

Hmmmmmmm.
I'm sending this but i'll be back.
