Dear Roger--
think of it as gnarlration-- to gnaw the gnarlrations!
"spinning a yarn"--
gnarled-- did Ariadne's thread--get gnarled at times, spaces--
"what a tangled web we weave"--
a story can be in any form spaces--
the rythms in between
would a palindromatic story be a narrative?
"the same old story over and over again!"
gnarls of narration--think of the differences in just such simple ones as these, by changing one mark:
she went to the store. she went to the store? she went to the store!
"story of my life"
a story a friend recently told me:
A man ain't nothin without a Queen. Had a Queen once, didn't play my cards right. See--I drew me a Joker. And man--that Joker was wild!

Hi
I'm confused now. The original ad doesn't mention characters but does mention spaces - which you wouldn't if you were talking words would you? Also - it doesn't mention words. Maybe I'll eeee Josh and get to the bottom of it.
Entries from Fluxlist people so far also brings up the question of when is a story a story, when is it a poem. Or when is it a narrative poem.
Some entries look like poems to me. Don't they? Do they?
XXX
Roger
