Nice one, Uche!!
(You could call it "Automated WCW")
I think somewhere in the poetryetc archives -- am I right on this?
Randolph? -- there's an anthology of Carlos Williams Fridge poems.
(I'd tend to rewrite the end:
E-mail
Robots
Are
Persistent
So
Obnoxious
And
So
Cold.
I blinked a little at your final "and", but going back to WCW, it was there.
I think his original syntax makes for a slightly different effect, however.
Thus the suggested revision. )
