  Jack and Jill
  went to the beach
  to catch the wave
  of water.
  They fell apart
  and teased her hair
  and they both came
  together, later.
   
  Pretty lite-duty machine, I know.
  Apologies for the poetry.
  Ted.

  Jack and Jill
  went by the way
  to catch the wave
  of snails.
  Jill jumped up
  and broke his crown
  and Jack came
  together, later

  each node chooses randomly from one of a series of texts
  and then links to another random choice object
   
  make a particular grammar with a choice of vocabulary (like
  the subject node could choose between one of several nouns)
   
  you get a different one each time you run the machine
   
  they make sense because only lines planned to follow each
  other do so

111::carolyn's quote

  
    The spatio-temporal elements
    that are added in the nonspace
    of cyberspatial works are much
    more than just a connection
    between parts. They are part
    of the syntax of the form.
    - Carolyn Guertin

code.poetry::executables is programmed to integrate spatio-temporal elements as a part of the syntax of the form
