A
A
While
writing
this
poem,
they
tried
to
sell
me
books,
a
2.7
million
dollar
new
york
city
apartment.
I
am
looking
and
a
planter,
or
a
tapestry
and
bowling
with
shoe
rental,
hey
that
could
be
fun
and
news,
lots
and
lots
of
news
and
also
shame,
but
not
to
worry
twenty
percent
off
to
give
yourself
a
little
valentine's
day.
Self-Care.
A
A
Does
all
this
content
make
life
feel
like
one
long
and
complex
sentence?
Wait,
wait,
wait,
wait.
It
also
has
something
to
do
with
feeling
your
own
heartbeat
in
your
temples
where
jesus
turned
over
the
money,
changers
tables
I
bet
50
of
the
population's
heartbeat-
is
thumping
at
exactly
the
same
time.
A
A
A
Cool
okay,
so
that
is
some
weird
poetry
that
I
wrote.
Obviously
it's
pretty
it's
pretty
clear
that
I've
been
thinking
about
distraction
quite
a
bit
and
how
being
online
and
being
online
for
a
long
period
of
my
life
is
its
own
kind
of
poetry.
I
mean
it's,
it's
definitely
not
william
shakespeare
and
it's
not
mary
oliver,
but
it
is
some
sort
of
poetry.
A
So
the
book
that
I
am
going
to
hand
out
this
talks
about
the
intensity
of
being
online
all
the
time
and
especially
in
the
crypto
space,
so
a
little
bit
about
myself.
Oh
this
is
also
in
the
book,
so
you
don't
have
to
read
that.
But
this
is
basically
what
distraction.
Poetry
is
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I
started
writing
about
crypto
when
it
was
only
bitcoin
in
about
2012,
starting
with
american
banker,
which
is
a
trade
pub
out
of
new
york
city.
A
Okay,
so
back
to
the
project.
This
project
is
about
it's
the
first
iteration
of
a
transmedia
project
or
process
that
I
would
like
to
see
more
of
in
the
world.
So
what
the
is
transmedia
you
know,
storytelling
is
a
technique
of
telling
a
single
story
or
story
experience
across
multiple
platforms
and
formats
using
current
digital
technologies.
A
What
that
looks
like
in
this
book
is
scannable
tags,
so
again
qr
codes,
but
there's
also
spotify
scannable
tags
or
if
you
were
in
an
ebook
version,
you
could
think
of
links
out
to
different
places
on
the
internet
as
a
journalist.
This
is
something
that
I've
been
told
to
do
over
and
over
again.
So
I
got
a
normal
journalism
degree
you
know
was
supposed
to
go
into
print
media
and
I
am
in
print
media,
but
one
of
the
things
that
they
kept
telling
us
is
now
you
have
to
be
a
video
editor.
A
A
This
was
not
a
part
of
that,
so,
especially
in
the
e-book
world,
I
don't
really
feel
like
they
are
utilizing
the
medium
that
they're
on
meaning
they're,
not
linking
out
to
different
sources
on
the
internet,
they're,
not
putting
videos
directly
into
my
ebook.
I
say
this
not
having
read
a
huge
amount
of
e-books,
because
I
like
a
physical
book,
so
I
know
some
people
are
sort
of
exploring
that
but
yeah
anyway.
I
think
it's!
It's
not
done
enough.
A
So,
like
my
my
big
vision
for
this
project
is
to
write
some
sort
of
thriller
or
sci-fi
book
that
links
out
to
places
on
the
web
so
that
you
can
sort
of
be
the
detective
and
the
reader
as
you're
reading
and
try
to
figure
out
the
plot.
So
that's
sort
of
the
idea.
The
reason
I
went
with
poetry
is
just
because
poetry,
you
know
they
don't
all
have
to
connect,
which
is
just
a
little
bit
easier,
so
so
just
an
easier
way
in
three
months
to
create
a
first
iteration
of
this
experiment.
A
A
Oh
and
this,
the
internet
is
a
really
great
place
and
also
a
really
terrible
place,
but
I
just
love
this
so
much
I
mean
one
of
my
favorite
things
about
the
internet
is
just
stumbling
on
these
things
that
you're
like
what
the
is
happening.
It's
just
like
there's
a
woodworking
network
who
wrote
an
article
tagged
with
closets,
it's
like
if
you
ever
have
searched
closets,
it's
not
to
read
how
millennials
are
to
blame
for
smaller
hotel
classes.
It's
just
like
so
odd.
A
A
Things
like
that,
and
so
the
the
question
here.
Absolutely
not.
I
do
not
think
my
poetry
is
good
enough
to
be
stored
forever,
but
also
kind
of
I
do,
because
I
think
it
tells
the
story
about
where
we're
at
in
the
world
so
yeah
you
can
read
through
walt
whitman
and
sort
of
understand
what
his
life
was
like
and
what
lives
were
like
back
then,
and
you
can
read
some
of
this
poetry
and
sort
of
feel
the
feel.
A
The
narrative
feel
the
time
period
that
we
are
in,
because
it's
chaotic
and
full
of
links
out
to
the
internet,
and
just
this
like
constant
onslaught
of
news
and
ads
and
everything
else,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
like
one
of
the
reasons
I
think
decentralized,
storage
and
ipfs
is
super.
Important
is
because
it
does.
A
A
A
A
So,
like
I
said
in
the
back
of
the
book,
there's
a
qr
code
scan
that
fill
out
the
google
form,
and
then
I
have
to
manually
send
you
for
nfts
that
you
can
play
with
so
it
takes
a
while.
So,
please,
you
know,
don't
freak
out
if
you
don't
have
them
right
away,
like
I
said
last
panel
sort
of
set
me
up,
because
the
innovation
or
the
vision
that
I
have
the
technology
just
doesn't
support
it
right
now.
So
I
don't
think
what
is
this?
A
Okay,
that's
the
qr
code,
not
for
the
nfts,
but
for
the
discord,
which
you
should
definitely
jump
into
because
again,
like
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
kind
of
clunky
and
I
have
outlined
basically
how
you
play
with
this,
but
okay,
so
I'm
also,
I
don't
know
you
guys
can
come
closer
if
you
want.
I
have
to
do
this
on
my
computer,
because
I
can't
plug
my
computer
into
that
tv,
but
so
the
nft
project
that
I
created
it's
on
polygon
by
the
way.
A
These
are
what
the
nfts
look
like.
They
are
just
words.
You
can
see
some
difference
in
you
know
all
capitals
of
you
can
see
some
colors
there's
some
background
changes
and
there's
also
some
some
font
changes.
This
is
not
art.
You
know
this
is
just
me
like
in
google,
slides,
creating
a
bunch
of
words,
because
my
hope
isn't
that
you
know
price
goes
up
for
these
nfts,
but
it's
more
about
creative
collaboration,
so
they're
just
really
simple,
but
this
is
what
they
look
like
yeah
yeah
great.
A
A
A
There
is
a
bit
of
sabotage
that
can
be
done
here,
so
you-
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
this,
but
it's
green
wherever
I
can
drop
this
fomo
nft
right.
So
let's
drop
it
like
here
in
one
of
these
spots,
but
I
can
also
kick
people
off
of
their
spots
already
by
just
dropping
it
over
that,
and
then
it
dumps
it
back
into
their
blue
space.
Here,
one
of
the
things
you
can
do
is
you
can
lock
two
of
your
nfts,
so
you
just
hit
this
little
lock
button.
A
A
A
So
I'm
glad
we
did
this
because
it
feels
it
feels
like
the
anti-distraction
right,
I'm
in
here
trying
to
be
very
particular
about
where
I
hold
my
three
limited
three
or
four
words.
I
also
have
to
play
within
the
bounds
of
what
other
people
have
already
put
in
here,
and
so
it
has
a
a
really
calming
effect,
whereas
I
kind
of
thought
I
was,
it
was
going
to
have
like
a
chaotic
effect,
so
that's
really
cool.
Hopefully
you
scan
the
qr
code
and
get
some
nfts.
A
I
will
be
and
that
one
definitely
get
into
the
discord.
That
is
not
the
url.
We
were
having
some
technical
difficulties
here
earlier
this
morning,
but
yeah,
hopefully
you
play
around.
I
would
love
to
see
more
poems.
It
also
there's
only
400
nfts
400
of
these
word
nfts,
and
this
has
400
slots
so,
like
nobody
has
done
this,
but
you
can
scroll
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom
and
put
your
nfts.
You
can
start
a
new
poem.
A
A
Okay
and
I
think
yeah-
okay,
great,
that
might
be
it
yeah.
So
I
would
love
for
you
guys
to
scare
the
qr
code
get
some
nfts
again.
I
am
airdropping
them
for
free,
so
you
don't
have
to
pay
anything,
not
even
gas
fees
and
they're
on
polygon,
which
takes
like
a
certain
amount
of
if
you're
doing
this
on
your
phone.
So
just
to
talk
about
the
tech
hurdles
a
little
bit
in
the
nft
space.
A
If
you're
doing
this
from
your
phone-
and
you
have
a
meta
mask
on
your
phone,
you
won't
actually
be
able
to
just
type
in
that
url
and
then
see
like
see
your
nfts
at
the
bottom,
because
you
actually
have
to
add
the
magmatic
network
into
your
metamask,
which
is
just
like
it's
a
very
complicated
process.
It's
like
500
steps
just
to
get
to
the
one
thing
you're
trying
to
do,
and
that's
like
partly
what
the
first
panel
was
talking
about.
Where
you
know
the
innovation.
A
And
you
know
there's
just
limits
to
what
the
tech
can
do,
but
we
will
actually
be
talking
about
that
me
and
another
poet
will
be
talking
about
that
tomorrow
at
three
about
some
of
the
tech
hurdles
that
we
face,
but
otherwise
yeah.
That's
it
and
I'll
hand
around
some
poetry
books,
oh
yeah.
I
can
sorry
I
can
also
take
questions.
A
A
A
But
I
think
one
of
the
inspirations
was
like
nouns
nft.
It's
just
like
a
noun
and
then
I
think
there's
like
a
letters
in
ft
project
just
stuff
like
that.
I
I
will
say
this
took
making
the
nfts
themselves
took
like
no
time
whatsoever.
I
just
words
that
were
in
my
head.
I
put
them
on
a
google
slide
and
then
I
you
know
we
got
fade
and
pasted
the
google
slide
and
then
made
it
into
an
nft.
So
that
part
was
like
pretty
easy.
A
The
process
of
like
getting
this
to
work,
I
mean
I
wish
my
developer
was
here
honestly
because
he
could
talk
through
some
of
this
but
like,
as
I
was
saying,
we
had
a
little
technical
difficulties
today.
For
some
reason
I
could
not
get
to
this
website,
and
so
he
had
to
create
this
really
ugly
link
which
again
it's
in
the
discord.
So
you
can
actually
get
to
this
because
it
appears
to
be
only
not
working
here
in
the
space.
For
whatever
reason
like
back
at
my
hotel,
I
could
get
on
the
the
website.
B
A
I
mean
this
is
like
this
is
the
first
nft
project
that
I've
done
so
I
I
guess
I'll
like
step
back
as
a
poetry,
reader
and
somebody
who
likes
the
arts.
I
have
experienced
a
lot
more
art
and
poetry
that
I
connect
with
on
a
on
a
bigger
basis
on
a
higher
level
in
the
nft
space.
I
think
because
those
people
like
I've
been
in
crypto
so
long
and
I'm
a
person
who's
constantly
on
the
internet.
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
same
people
who
are
writing
this
poetry
and
then
being
like.
A
Oh
nft
is
cool.
Maybe
I
can
find
a
new
market
with
this,
and
so
it
just
seems
that
those
overlaps
of
interests
or
knowledge
bases.
You
know
I
meet
a
lot
of
poets
that
I
actually
really
like
their
work.
So
yeah
and
I
think
that's
look.
None
of
this
poetry
has
to
be
in
an
nft
form
right.
There
isn't
much!
There's
this
woman,
her
name
is
kailyn
iwamoto,
which
I
might
be
butchering,
but
she
actually
creates
poetry
by
interacting
with
blockchain
technology.
A
So
she'll
like
put
a
bid
in
open
c,
and
I
think
you
can
put
you-
can
put
like
a
message
in
your
bid
and
that's
how
she
sort
of
keeps
a
log
on
the
blockchain
of
like
these
different
words
that
end
up
making
a
poem
that
stuff
is
really
cool.
I
like
aspire
to
do
something
like
that.
I
think
a
lot
of
poets
in
the
space-
and
I
am
not
knocking
this
at
all,
but
a
lot
of
poets
in
the
space
you
know
their
poem
doesn't
have
to
be
on
an
nft
right.
A
A
Yeah,
thank
you,
and
so
some
of
my
pieces
fell
off
yeah.
So
these
are
all
also
when
I
pass
these
out.
Please
be
careful
because
it's
just
like
it's
random
things
that
I
found
at
this
hacker
space
that
I
go
to
in
brooklyn
and
so
there's
like
cords
that
are
you
know
these
little
wires.
That
you
know
could
poke
you
and
stuff,
so
just
be
careful
with
them.
Don't
get
a
splinter,
I
guess
but
yeah
I'll
hand
some
out.
