Part I. Sensing
Sonnet I → Transbliterated (001)
Shakespeare
From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding. Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
Transbliteration
Enormous creatures augment my desire The merely beautiful bore me to death The mothers of those living between An easy life And a memory to be But you Your desire trapped In brilliant eyes A light by which I could live forever You feed on some hidden abundance An enemy's treasure Candy An edible garter 'round the world I alone call you out Yank the truth from your throat Suck your vomit Tell the world Here is your glutton! So I can eat the remains Hidden 'neath your gravestone
Watch the sonnet become the poem
The poem, line by line
But you Your desire trapped In brilliant eyes
A light by which I could live forever
An edible garter 'round the world
I alone call you out Yank the truth from your throat Suck your vomit
Tell the world Here is your glutton!
So I can eat the remains Hidden 'neath your gravestone
