Digital Pamphleteering

Log: a sailor’s “log-book” from the #AgeOfDiscovery (1670s) became a “log”, or a “record of observations, readings” in 1842.

Web: the Old English “webb” meant “woven fabric, woven work, or tapestry”; the #Internet sense is shortened from World Wide Web (1990).

A “web log” is a recorded set of observations on the internet: a #blog.

Lay, you Snakes
At the feet of

INDUSTRIA

Writhe.
She wants you to writhe.

Give her to smelt
The spring in your step
The light in your eyes
Your fingers' nimbleness
Your sighs.
