New game, new rules!

I have tried to make the rules tougher! Here is some context and history.

1. Search for your site on Google: site:elkement.wordpress.com
2. Pick the first search result in the language of your site[*]
3. Pick a chain of words, a contiguous snippet from this Google search result (use only the snippet on the results page – don’t click on it). This becomes the title of your poem.
4. Copy your chosen snippet and search again, now for this phrase.
5. Pick the first snippet from the new search results, choose a phrase. This is the next line of the poem; re-arrangement, editing or skipping search results is not allowed.
6. Goto 4.

[*] The major challenge in this game is one strange attractor: All the poetic chaos is finally is sucked into this black-hole: Dictionaries and thesauruses. I’ve used a private browser window with both preferred language and display language set to English. Yet Google knows my IP address and keeps showing me translations to German as the first search result.

Unless you want to pick a term like German-English translation, your worm-hole out of the dictionary attractor is the innocuous reference to the web page in Cache. Fortunately, when searching for Cache there was a ‘reasonable’ English snippet on the first results page, and I felt entitled to choose it, according to rule 2. The poem shows that I was stuck in the potential well of the cache. The same happened with less severe attractors, and eerily enough these events always had a self-referential flavor. I was also leading and pacing, leading and pacing, leading and pacing… until I was in sync. And the pop-up, pop-up, pop-up was hard to get rid of, as in the real world.

I also had to appeal to Google themselves, and the poem describes itself correctly as a treasure hunting game – to find hidden objects or places.

Enough of the meta-analysis and over-explanations – here is the poem!
