I've always known Brett's posts were actually beat poetry, but I just couldn't put my finger on the meter until now. I think I've finally got it though. Here goes:
A Meme Proper is in a "Growth" Stage by B. Lane Roberts
(Okay everyone, gather yourselves for a moment... center... hear the bongos in the background... picture those black turtlenecks... feel the angst in the room... smell that heady aroma of espresso and cloves... and now... begin!)
>*A meme proper is in a "growth" stage.
>It has an organization
>by which it attracts
>"nutrients" (or ideas)
>which fit its pattern
>and add to its stability--
>it is "truth seeking.
>Therein arises the argument
>that a level one memespace

>is also a *meme*;
>that is,

>(it is

>NOT a "virus"

>Thus,

Right on, Daddy-O, right-on!
