BTW, is anyone else doing this sort of thing?

I could, but I can't see it working!

Using # came to mind... but I wanted to stick with one that still looks
like parentheses... for the uninitiated?... but then, half the point was
"I" being software. Knut's right - I should take it further. see below
The alternative spelling started with "yu" to differentiate it from the
usual lyric-poetry "you" and continued out of a desire to emphasise
and link those words. "u" just didn't feel right. Perhaps the spelling
is too pretentious... in which case more of it would be worse.
if (
I xtend
beyond fone & skin, paper & sweat, screen & breath,
a weave thru web&layers intu
yu /*a piece of me in yu*/
)
then {
I contain a piece, a peace, of
yu; /*for all */
/*yu hu */
/*have reached me*/
}
cradle; keep safe;
Hah, you know, I could write a whole book like that!
probably be crap tho
