A few observations made while checking my various e-mail accounts that day. How sites 'decorated' and tackiness. War as the new reality show. Sorry 'bout the format. Took me ages to get it just so, then 30 seconds of fp.net washed it away. *grr*

Multimedia War

browser

loading……

too slowly. too many graphics.

multitasking.

any messages?

page decked

in red and white

and bursting blue.

sprinkle of stars

fireworks to shower my e-mail.

is this a holiday I'd forgotten?

snipped and clipped

24 hours news.

so immediate.

so surreal.

trendy cuttings

set to stars and stripes forever.

a special on MTV. or maybe VH1.

listen to the cannons in the 1812 overture.

interesting percussion.

this is NOT the Fourth of July.
