  1. pretty fantastic that you found a double word! i suppose many words become another word when one of their letters get spun through the alphabet.

    i had a thought. it may be sillydumb. because "zero" appears at the bottom, i wonder if "hero" could be placed right at the start for some reason or according to some reorganization logic... i.e. what if the lines were arranged so that the sounds rainbowed into a spectrum? that is, the sounds slow change from "H" to "Z"

    hero
    wero
    yero
    uero
    oero
    aero
    iero
    eero
    cero
    tero
    ...
    xero
    sero
    zero


    maybe uninspiring, but might also lead to a beauty surprise or two. or at least it could confound the otherwise predictable order, eh? and what about an epic title, something that gives this potentially surfacey poem some resonance or huhness? like a Greek demigod or anti-hero? i.e. Sisyphus?
