Description Everything is
Chrome
In the future.
Silver fingers in the Akihabara,
Reaching out for salvation
In the form of the newest,
Silver-shining
Compact cellular phone.
Ten thousand nickel-plated hearts
Thrumming to a single
Commercial rhythm.
Everything is
Chrome
In the future,
Even the rain.
Slippery silver mirror-puddles lying on
Tarnished steel sidewalks.
Fifty, a hundred and fifty, three thousand and one years from now,
Silver is a feeling, slick and fluid.
Everything is
Chrome
In the future.

Y'know, I just realized that this was the most comments I've ever gotten on one piece. *blink* I'm sure this has some significance, but I'm too lazy to figure out what

different than all of your other pieces, it seems like you are actually trying. i guess something gets lost, the piece is devoid of feeling, perhaps that was the intent. the future is chrome, shiny yet indistinguishable. i still like it though

Noooo! What if what?

I kinda do want to extend it, but it has to fit on a wallpaper so I'm trying to limit the length.... Maybe a longer version later, or a smaller font *devilish grin*

Pretty cool
Has some really nice lines.
Seems like you could go further with it though.
Nahh... it's fine as is. But what if.... ahh forget it.

*does a dance of joy* Yes! You got where I was trying to go! It was kind of 2 parts ekud wall, 2 parts future-Tokyo, and 2 parts of my own style.....
So it's okay as is? Sweet. I'm still neurotic about this, though

i really like it. it's very new Tokyo. japanese text would look great mixed into the wall, if you were so bold as to suggest it to him. this is going to look great on an ekud wall. but it stands on its own quite nicely. i'll definetely fav this when its out of its beta stages. but..hmm..i really can't think of anything to suggest. you're going in the right direction, and doing it well.

Uh oh....it's a schtick? It's been done?

Now now, if you explode, you'll never see the ekud wp....

I like it, but I'll warn you that I've always, always been a sucker for the "everything is chrome in the future" schtick. ^^

Aw c'mon man.....
Okay, lemme put it to you this way- if this poem were visual art, would it look like a "beautiful space womb?" This being an ekud render in layman's terms....

Thanks. The line breaks are almost secondary here, since they can be changed to fit the wallpaper. I'm assuming that the wording's sufficient now, though? But thanks much for the comment

i do think you're saying some really nice things with the words already ... where i do think it could use some work is in the line breaks. right now, they seem to work against the poem, stopping me from being able to read it in a constant stream from one thought to the next.

but it's a great idea. i particularly liked:

Slippery silver mirror-puddles lying on
Tarnished steel sidewalks.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Damn the fucking bold tag. I wanted a pointy arrow pointing at the period after Rain.

But, I hope you could have figured that out anyway.

Oooooh my. Is this what you wanted to hear?

Fuckin' bad-fuckin'-ass fuckin fuck!


Only one nitty-pick - a semi-colon would work better than a period here:

...Even the rain.
Slippery silver mirror-puddles lying on...


Other than that... Im drooling again.
