Lines

The output refers to 'poetry' specifically 'sonnet', as it is arranged in 14 lines. Rather than the syllable, the character is the primary unit of composition, but the line is still the larger level of composition. Here, as in Twitter, the lines recede from the most recently posted, at the top, to the least recent at the bottom. So there is awareness of the order of composition, yet the content of the posts can be deliberately structured to work from top to bottom, the reverse order of their Twitter publication.

My original use of Twitter allowed for the randomness of everyday life including its disparate thoughts and activities to influence content, every post a performance of this subworld.

Can this still happen in a more controlled input?
