Fossil Clinging is a poem about the stubborn resisting change when the masses drive it, I particularly envisioned something like the shift between paper and paperless technology for reading but this could apply to several facets of innovation. Today’s poem included 19 random words (in bold) provided by the following Twitter players:

Fossil Clinging
Like some surrogate addiction
a poetry desire to occupy
drizzle life in this marketplace
while sacrilegious on limpid paper
recalcitrant beloved culture clinging
still defying the frustrated majority
like ostentatious source code with no compiler
for a stagnant digest most undigestible
wobbling legs on a nearly broken ankle
wishing for some terminex solution
to eradicate these fossil pests
