The name “Jack Dorsey” ring a bell? Nope? Well, if you haven’t happened to come across his name in the media, you should know that this guy is soon to be named the chairman of a publicly-traded Twitter. And what’s more, we happened top find a whole lot of his old poetry, from his days as a rebellious back-alley hacker. The following is not suitable for those scared of bad poetry.
A decade ago, Dorsey was known as “JakDaemon” – a moody young man from St. Louis, who was keen to share his beauty with the world. He wrote an endless archive of rambling poetry, but, because of the power of the internet, we are able to show you the stuff he thought the world would never see again.
Prepare your eyes… Here are Dorsey’s thoughts on beauty.
beauty
i have no super powers but i skip reasonably well
i wanted to write the sky today and my wrists are holding me down.
kids are absent from structure, and play in the disorder while creating more
as soon as i record, you become false.
Jack Dorsey on desire…
stage
the stage stops here
fuck flying,
i want horizontal thermal cyclones
wind pushing me millimeters from the ground at speed
let’s hover
fuck escaping to the stratosphere,
meet me in the crosswind let’s conquer and solve the ground before we look up, down.
Pretty cringe-worthy stuff. Sure hope no one brings it up in the boardroom. If you really, really want to read more, you can do so here. You’ve been warned.
