And Q did this before, on purpose.
I thought this interesting.
From https://helenmort.wordpress.com/2017/07/12/the-golden-shovel/:
So, what’s a Golden Shovel? It’s a piece where the last words of each line are, in order, words from a line or lines taken from a Brooks poem. The poems are, in a way, secretly encoded to enable both a horizontal reading of the new poem and vertical reading down the right-hand margin of Brooks’s original. Terence Hayes’ original piece in the form takes words from Brooks’ famous ‘We Real Cool’ and ‘The Golden Shovel’ is, of course, a reference to the ‘Seven at the Golden Shovel’ in the Brooks poem. Hayes’ poem is in two parts and he uses line breaks to startling effect in the second part:
….Light can be straight-
ened by its shadow. What we
break is what we hold. A sing-
ular blue note. An outcry sin-
ged exiting the throat….
Illustrated Man- Ray Bradbury.
This book is even extra fascinating now, in this timeline.
"The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury, a collection of eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin, visions as keen as the tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that indelibly stain the body. The images, ideas, sounds and scents that abound in this phantasmagoric sideshow are provocative and powerful: the mournful cries of celestial travelers cast out cruelly into a vast space of stars and blackness, the sight of gray dust settling over a forgotten outpost on a road that leads nowhere, the pungent odor of Jupiter on a returning father's clothing. Here living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets."
