Disintegration

Okay, now I'm having trouble with my MTV e-mail inbox. Every time I try to log in, I get a notice claiming that I have not entered my user name or password. But I have! First, my Excite! mailbox starts going crazy, sending in duplicate messages, leaving messages I try to forward blank. Then, their Webshots site starts developing all sorts of bugs. Now I can't fetch mail at MTV. I think maybe the Internet is starting to fall apart, either from lack of maintainance due to all the downsizing, or from overuse. Too many surfers, too few waves.
Oh, wow!
Its turning into Huntington Beach!

Noyade: n. - Drowning

Re-reading Richard Wilbur, I saw these lines from After the Last Bulletins in a whole new light:

In empty lots
Our journals spiral in a fierce noyade
Of all we thought to think,
Or caught in corners cramp and wad

And twist our words.
