open platforms closed secrets (homage to Miao Ying)

Blockage and initial contemplations are fixated here 

The animated gifs shake true // privileging silence over sound 

Contradictions between desire for globalisation 

whilst maintaining control feels so very thick with obscurity 

Clouds of digital materials bear witness as both survivors and

ghosts of their hidden poetic terrain, a sad design

^{Footnote: this poem was created using the Internet Performance constraint as the starting point.}
