What's the point?

Post by Doreen Peri » August 23rd, 2009, 1:14 am

What's the point of making pasta
in different shapes?
What's the point of loyalty?
What's the point of trigonometry?
What's the point of philosophy?
What's the point of all this?
What's the point of the past?
What's the point of praying for the dead?
What's the point of going out?
We're just going to end up back here anyway.
What's the point in all this screaming?
WHAT'S THE POINT OF POWER?
Amnesia: I forgot.
What's the point?
What's the point of satire?
What's the point of pain?
What's the point of interaction?
What's the point of having a vision?
What's the point of a leap year?
What's the point of truck weigh stations?
What's the point of protest?
Daylight-saving time: what's the point?
What's the point of reciprocal trade negotiations?
Sobriety: what's the point?
What's the point of Miss America ?
The Restless Sleep:: what's the point?
What's the point of marriage, gay or straight?
What's the point of unparalleled corruption?
What's the point of pubic hair?
What's the point of robot pets?
What's the point of sex?
What's the point of all this argument?

This is a poem composed of "what's the point" google searches.

I put this together in 2005.

What's the point of this poem?

It amazed me the stuff people googled and thought it would be absolutely pointless to put them together like a poem.

Sounds like you're into pointillism.

Or what is the pointillism.

Cool.

Any reply I could give to you, Cecil & Mark, would be pointless.

So, I'll just pointedly say thanks.
