Much of art is establishing a pattern then breaking from it. Joke tellers may think of this as the third act, e.g. “then the last brother goes to the bartender...”; for musicians, it’s often the bridge (although the chorus typically returns at a song’s conclusion). Poet friends and I have discussed this in respect to writing verse as the robot and gorilla (or robot and monkey). The first sets a predictable, soothing rhythm while the second disrupts it by banging erratically on the drum. All the same, the switch is from logic known to unknown, cerebral to visceral, mechanical to animal. I think of this as we live more of our lives online, as well as when I encounter acronyms new to me while surfing and shuffling through the many transcriptions of real space to internet. What is LMAO? All one can do is smile and click on. Does this haiku mean something different to you? Contact me!
