The poem overtly instructs readers to explore the piece in different ways and offers us three navigational tools: a scheduled linear reading in which the poem unfolds before us like a film, a series of linked o's beneath the Flash canvas, and linked words in each node that form different loops of their own. Each node delicately layers sounds of nature, garden images, animations of frogs and butterflies, quotes, and scheduled presentation of static and kinetic lines of verse to produce a coherent arrangement of digital objects from a variety of sources.
