Hi Brownlie,


Interesting piece. Looks like an excerpt from a post-apocalyptic/futuristic/big brother-type of story like so many I read. Could you put us more into context so we can understand better what's going on? Also I'm curious of what you mean by "receive potential anima", your idea of anima, and also what you mean by "Haitian ghost". Lots of different concepts talked about here which are kind of blurry... and though it's written more like a story than a poem, I do like it.
Eager to read your response!

Thanks for reading. Animal Riots Activitist posted the link to zombocom, which features an endlessly loading flash animation and a serpent and the rainbow type voiceover. I was thinking of anima as a soul-type idea that could be contrasted with the more material concept of chaff-husk men (though the term is confusing and could have multiple meanings). As for potential, I was hoping to get at the expectation provoked by the website, and also at the idea of an ostensibly empty space where someone could form their own world so to speak. To me, the narrator also sounded like a Haitian voodoo stock character one would find in the media. Funny website at any rate because I may have killed the "poem" by breaking the fourth wall here. Cheers.
