My remix project

This project was interesting, to say the least. I fumbled my way through it, but wish I had a better, or more creative presentation. The project was to remix something that had already been created. Well, I have written numerous poems over the years and thought it would be interesting to remix one and see what happened. I used the website languageisavirus.com to remix my masterpiece. The original poem was written about traffic in the Northern VA area and when I went to the website and pasted my text into the "cut-up machine", it completely changed the wording around and gave my peom a new spin. I don't think that the words made sense in the manner in which they were rearranged, but it read like you would imagine traffic to be. You would read and it would flow for a minute and then it would stop abruptly, then move along again and then stop. It was stop and go, nonsensical and frustrating. An interesting view of traffic in Northern VA, eh?
