I think your search for alliteration and rhyme put a slight, likely unintentional, comedic twist to the thing.

It is difficult to take such a thing seriously when it rhymes too conveniently.

The only examples I can think of involve war.

is there a missing word in the next to last line?

I can't imagine anyone too tall to leap.

How does that work?

I'm giving you a seven in the hopes that the 8 syllable line was intentional.

Cuz, well - that would be funny.

Obviously, as I said.

Interesting phrase "take place"

"life is a thing in which games take place"

"take place" as "occur", "manifest", "become; become apparent" - it all feels redundant. Games as a thing defined, as having a label and used by language - already exist.

"life is a thing in which games occur(...)" could be:
"life is a thing with games"

Yet, life as a thing has lots of things, in fact, it could be argued that it contains all things (including nothing) - not just games.

So really, it is meaningless to claim it has games. Life has belly-button lint too, but do we really need to state it?

"Life is a thing"

But really, we know life to encompass more than just things, it also contains the set of no-things.

"Life is"

Yet, sometimes it isn't - is that true also? Seriously - if life can contain the thing "no-thing" can it also contain the thing "non life"? And by doing so, does it negate its own existance?

Or rather, does it make it's definition meaningless - or at best - fruitless?

I offer the previous ruminations as proof that defining life is fruitless. As fruitless, at least, as wondering if Foucault would have had nearly the fame he enjoys if he wore a toupee and contacts.

And you missed mine - your data collection technique is flawed. You fail.

Tasty. Tasty like delicous little fishes.
Re: do androids dream? by nentwined 22-Apr-04/6:59 AM
yes Rachel, they dream of electric sheep.

A nicely encapsulated thought - and it rhymes; it must be true.

And my favorite: "The last Christian died on the cross"

Thanks
Re: Biography I (1996) by halofriendly 21-Apr-04/5:54 PM
the ending could have been very special I think, after such an engaging start.

Something needs to happen there, after the "but..." (even if you have to make it up)

and please - no talk of suicide; rather some event, or perhaps a statement of altered awareness, a re-union, somehting.
Re: perfection show by halofriendly 21-Apr-04/5:45 PM
has a very sweet, if cryptic, feel.

I'd like to see it formatted slightly different, but the content is fine.
