second hand information, reading of someone else's life through
someone else's blog. methods of communication cut off and, well,
maybe not cut off, that implies an actual active act, more like
rotting, deterioration, but whatever you want to call it,
reduces to newspaper reading. it's not really communication anymore,
is it? it's just like TV watching, or reading the comics, or
seeing a movie, but with a little more connection, like Groundhog
Day being filmed in Woodstock, On The Line filmed in Chicago,
that sort of thing. That certain things you read about you have
a connection to, a cosmic, nah, just a remembrance of how someone
used to be, might still be, which comes across from someone else's
words written on a freely used website. if only.
