i thought
no that's just five spaces
not counting the other letters and whatever was on
the first line but i was thinking or snapping rather
i was thinking of something else entirely though for instance
what would make a good snap what would really pop
the narratorial eyeballs out of those readers over e-yonder
who so much love a good story but don't we all i see you
shaking your head the way you always do and rolling your eyes
which haven't popped or anything close unless of course
bugging might be considered close but then who's counting
i'm not a math teacher if you've read this far
that's a miracle i can live with but then why
all the space what's that got to do with anything
you think and well you're the one who should be
doing it take some of it
on yourself

virtual grist for the swill all swell that's end swell
virtual hell in a handbasket all hark and no height yikes
virtual tykes and tally-ho all yo and the like
virtual rollcall with no after all no happily ever everland no m'am
virtual son of spam i am iambic furthermore reneges and sham ahem
virtual poetry slam and then some all comers or dot-com-ers glomming on
virtual song in the blow-by-blow long gone all dumb all gong
virtual allworth and all that and it's fat
