用百科全書玩遊戲
假設我更新遊戲的玩法
這次我選地球
欽博拉索山的峰頂
而欽博拉索山山頂也是
(「我發現了」、「答對了」)
並查詢它
我只需要再找到另一個詞並查詢它
但全部都位在雨林之中
你去了而不會被加臉書朋友
到最後還真的非常神秘
可搜尋「披頭士」
甲蟲是動物界中求愛最浪漫的生物
而它們用不同的方式溝通
讓我看到海膽在交配的影片
苯乙胺並不會進到腦中
你也許想實驗看看
(有同情心的、魔術)
我就不知道是什麼意思
洞穴壁畫也可能如此
和對人手的描繪
其中基因與人類最相近的一種是黑猩猩
「太空猩猩Ham」
被甲蟲們腐蝕
在同樣的時程和路徑同步繞地球
在同樣的時程和路徑同步繞地球

Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
