Ephemeral online moment... Yours truly plagiarizes himself with zeal courtesy mental cogs and rusty wheel, thus no literary crime committed to steel I broadcast material shown thru rickety black and white Roman Times newsreel forthwith shoddy wordplay exempts me against copyright infringement meaning only I own privilege to take self to heel, nevertheless yours truly hoops longshot to score brownie points a higher power, I will not cajole, bribe nor appeal... while sitting on haunches horsing around contemplating how to clearly expound idea that the here and now does not exist cuz no sooner then present moment experienced than bitta bing bitta bang... little block of time immediately gone, hence quite profound...
