Random Bearings is an epic pantoum inspired
line-by-line by no more and no less than 300
individual listings from the now-defunct Missed
Connections website. It was originally written as
an “off season” part of ThePenroseTrekkie.com
and its promise that “you can write a poem
about literally anything” and the repetitive form
was chosen to reflect the interconnected nature
of intelligent lifeforms seeking intelligent
lifeforms.
