Parsing Through

So reading                                                          is the new slow eating

online-wise                                                        (only a fool would believe it)

is just the thing                                                  to escape wired lives

to keep people                                                   from the real

on the left                                                          side of the brain

which we                                                            put to creative

use in                                                                 defiance of modernity's

place of                                                              importance in our lives

looking                                                               to usurp the

right                                                                   to think independently

to the end                                                          of our lifetime

of a sentence.

David Mickes Professor of English at the University of Houston says studies 'have shown that when we read online text we do not read all of it, parsing only the left-side of the column.'
