The Best Poem Of Ben Greene

World Wide Web

The internet is obviously alive. It is jammed packed with interaction. This website is a shining example of creative open exchange, poetry in whatever definition you want to give it. But the internet as a whole is some kind of artificial collective consciousness.

But what is it we are building here in cyberspace land? By networking, what will it be like when television incorporates itself and information exchange becomes ever more possible?

Behind the technology what is it that keeps it all together, is it the wires? Microchips?
The point I’m imagining is –poetry besides- that a synthesis can occur somewhere in cyberspace. I don’t know if this makes any sense, but imagine that as technology improves like a jet engine, what can come out of this idea of mass integration/public-worldwide domain?

If the internet was a gun what could we aim it at? In the future of course.

Thank you for your time.

I don't know what type of poem this is, a poem for yourself, i.e something that you wanted to do for yourself and for your own personal reasons, in which case it is fine as is, or is it meant as a poem for everyone? If for everyone, personally i am having trouble understanding what's happening. I'm not very good at figuring things out though, so maybe its just me. If it is a poem for everyone maybe you could create a line or two that connect some of the ideas to give me (and maybe others who are just as poetically challenged) a chance to understand your work
