Base Infinity
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)

Base Infinity & Base Nothing
It's been a long time since I've updated either of these projects and it's time to formally move on from them. They had a good run. They saw my writing evolve into what it has now become and that is so far divorced from the initial conception of the project, that it seems more fitting to begin a new one than to continue with these.
The hiatus was more a result of coming to this conclusion than anything else, coupled with the depletion of energy directly following the IM3 generator. I mean, I actually wrote my own programming language for that project -which was fun, don't get me wrong, and necessary conceptually. But I needed a break, so I took it.
Anyway. I look forward to future projects and I hope you do too. So stay tuned.
Cheers,
JYNX

Memoria (New Book)
Memoria was fabricated from two separate 'biases' or saved n-gram states. Pages 3 through 10 (which disclude the title page and preface) are generated from the KJV translation of the Bible. All poems thereafter are a mixture of Revelation, Daniel, Genesis, and The Best Women's Erotica of 2001.

bitter boy.
out to hide
since I relished
aesthetically pleasing
sandpit
with being reminded
of wine
this mixture
eventually led me
to mate with those little
bastards
took off there awkwardly
in Hawaii with hot blonde
color from Holland
whom I’ve never traumatized
no memories of strength
to flay them during recess
and heartbreak
that a deep contemplation spots
I visited home alone
and talk about being called
my vow of powerful
where she had snatched off
to discipline me
a psychological problem
they do it in games
a miserable disaster
for mother’s apartment
that pig kept inviting him over
i fully indulged myself
ever after
to rub my grandmother
to heal by girls every
proving our mode
with many meals
molded me again
saw me happen
to fully realize
already begun
while others thought
plenty of utter shit
without ever being offered
quarantine

The Figurehead
the Serpent plays on a spiral of his bed. black & red. turning inward. to echo love is crying. out to him by despair. but someone kind enough to swing their willingness to failure. the Extermination of balance. full as a hOwl rises over and screams mumbled with indignant deliberation. flushed away quickly. and observe the broken opening of sound. exhaled the external world. lonliness begets. the torment of starlight. two shadows yet silently. into the blackness. staring at any author is possible. look behind stars. products. open. anything else wants. to sacrifice.
the narrowing hall. you will come to enter. everywhere. on purpose. it isn’t quite death. as those. disfigured by infinity. know. the game was always asleep in heaven. the clock runs exactly backwards. like that confession ran through his wrists. exorcising itself. over and over again. every fragment of continuity.
he was probably cold. holding onto a question. the jurisdiction of fear. models of values. the weariness of a white rabbit & whatever memory chews on you. or g0d. & reduces both.
You mean nothing

grandma.
all stopped atop the promise of dust (itself seemed) silent since your vein is wound on time. that crept into what i will call you.
we are masquerading as plucked blossoms.
well i'm going to down and up like she stared at God and loaded the bowels of compassion from her nightstand.
the way her bladder empties out & how jesus will swallow the puffy cushions of a comfortable wrath.
the length of god could smell gastric juice.
set in biology
my body could teach me
that sins overlap and imagine
we pass that gleam of lOve

they look like candy.
they look like candy
can't you smell their shame?
the way they hold their eyes
their body language -
all twisted inward
& in 10 years from now
their eyes will be sunken
they look like candy
the last piece
in a dusty bowl
throwing their intentions
everywhere
into a void
just let them weep
they don't need to hear this
they will not listen
they will never use contractions
they are always
lying

red crush.
& you will come to see us. reduced by half & half & half. rattlesnakes
unfold under the swollen silver moon. i fell down forever. to watch the
dusty mesa. across the poison creosote. hidden in the cactus bloom.
& when
i touched her sk[I]n
my fingers ran
with sand . silent sand . blood .
the wind will be my hands . silent sands . me; the stars will be your
eyes . and swollen . to the wind . will come to drag away your hopes .
shadows dance . with me forever . across the thorny brush . and a
stranger haunted me . the last light warms the stars will be my fingers
ran with blood forever across the dusty mesa forever the poison light
warms the boiling sun . forever . twines her skin .
slowly towards the wind . to drag away your eyes . and the last light
warms the poison creosote . sand . the rocks and the boiling sun .

A cinderella story.
the blood pressure of amputees
& thalidomide thermocouple
with his analog cancer
& your ballistics & still
she can smile
at a cinderella story
about an ak-47
that held onto
its gift.
his abnormalities
absorbed anhydrously
& our blood-pressure
is rapidly rising.
analog ballistics
anti-missile expropriations
the angel of behemoths
ambushes the chicken
of our aeternitatis
& adult carnivores
redeem aeroflot behemoths
the beef of our bloodspots
can ambush the red bloom
her pigs of digging.

And all turn
after such wickedness
not inheriting such images
desiring food for this city
hastily at evening
the morrow shall hear
his chosen temple
was nothing worthy
of a song
they might destroy
these thirty captains of g0d
whom before they sent him
shall acknowledge
my father's maids
another wheel
over our body
in sackcloth
and Shobab: the beginning
who maketh fire
flesh upon Moab
they called John Baptist's head
The table they abide
that a multitude perish
before all men
acknowledge my servant's house
their terror of Hemath
every sweetsmelling tree
will be fair in war
The second death
one realm against
eight thousand years
The height of Gilead
errors of Shechaniah
the cave of Pharez
The tree until they wept with him
lifted her on Neginoth
upon an error:
wherefore is mad:
and all turn

When we were a curtain.
suspended in his eyes blink. & he aims up.
She hears the claw snag hold of her ears.
Holy fuckin' shit. You ain't seen it up
at the base of these tools.
A little bugger ain't -
it wasn't real.
None of it.
Nothing.
it's me
when they built a Coke
they can barely breathe
he can control his stare
in his chair (Good good)
Nothing but my eyes.
wired to spinal fluid
every ounce of a miracle
jerking itself into the phone
dropping. dangling by the
tranquilized gun of
another g0d's dead men
They can't say it seems to
the street. when we were a curtain.
talking to an ambulance. listening.
losing every hand of cards he plays.
nervously as they were. Unnerved ducks
all in a row. we would be a computer.
slowly pulling away.
I've been dependent on the most dangerous man who ever existed. a phantasm of meat & sweat & blood. the after thought of WASTE LINE CLICK. fires --
& fades away.

passWork
Download
passWork is a codeWork poem written in obfuscated FreeBASIC. The poem can literally generate all possible combinations of characters for any given password length. Dictionary files such as these can then be used in password cracking programs such as John the Ripper to recover lost passwords or for more nefarious aims. The probability that this method will crack your password is (exactly) 100%.
The download archive consists of 6 files. Please note that if you want to see the program compile you will have to download FreeBASIC (link above). There is however a compiled version available in the zip and the source code is also included for your perusal, along with an include file which contains the macro definitions which make this sort of codeWork possible. The original algorithm used to generate the passwords is also included in the zip ("recursive password gen.bas"). It is by far the most elegant solution to this problem I've seen, far more so than my own, which is why I chose to use it. Recursive functions tend to be smaller in terms of the sheer amount of code used to fashion them, and this suited my needs much better I feel, for the sake of a codeWork poem. If you decide to download FreeBASIC and run the recursive password gen BASIC file, you will be able to generate password dictionaries, one of which is included (for 3 letter passwords only). You will find that doing so can eat up a tremendous amount of space and time, which is why I limited the password size to three characters. It took about 7-8 minutes on a crappy Quad-Core processor, and generated about 4 megs of information.
