[hometext] => The excessive periods in this poem were put in to maintain its original shape. The binary at the top of the poem is actually the date that the poem was written, 111500, or 11/15/00. A bit of a riddle, this one is, but only if you choose it to be. Otherwise, it makes perfect sense.
[bodytext] => 11011001110001100 I stand up. Behind me, a ........... beautiful fountain shoots ...... water a hundred feet into... the air. Statues of dolp ..... hins dancing around the fountain were mesmerizing the tourists, and attracting the amateur photographers, but not anymore, for I am standing up. Now, the tourists walk away from the fountain. They walk away from me, yelling and mutt .. ering various expletives while ... each staying at least twenty .......... feet away from me at all ................. times. The tourists avoid ....................... the fountain and the prof .......................... essional photographers take .......................... pictures of the fountain. Mommies and daddies tell their children ............................................. to look away from the fountain. Mommies and daddies yell. ................................................ What? ....................................................... Why are you yelling? ....................... What do you want? You are only hurting your babies’ ears. ................................................................................. What? ............................ What do you want? You are only hurting your babies’ eyes. You refuse to look at the beautiful fountain. ................................................................................. What? .............................. What do you want? .......................................................................................... I’m not doing anything.
