There are not yet any hypertext classics
although the critical apparatus is
already installed and waiting to
deconstruct one

What makes a link
work
the way a line “works”?

We are trying to imagine
what we have created
a maze of many texts
and we cannot stop

We are acting like children
playing at being cowboys
on this frontier

Hypertext is fun
too

Coover’s at Brown now
and he’s teaching exclusively
hypertext

Soon you will be able to
major in writing classic
hypertext novels

A computer program
is just like a poem
except you know
if the lines
work
