The .DOC File of J Alfred Prufrock

Anonymous Lurker Nobody sez, “The interminable Sam Starbuck, who writes incredible fiction of both the fan- & original- variety, has written what is both a beautiful homage and hilarious send up of T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. It includes allusions to LOLcats, yaoi, World of Warcraft, overzealous iPhone autocorrect, and much much more. Just perfect.”

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a laptop, put in sleep mode on a table
Let us go through certain half-deserted streets
The blinking-light retreats
Of restless nights in free-wifi cafes
And public libraries with internet
Streets that follow like messageboard argument
of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming blog post
Oh, do not ask, “What, yaoi?”
Let us go and post an entry.
