some old telegraph codes, words published for telegraph operators to use in conveying stock phrases using assigned words. excerpt:

Embroider - Think the report is false.
Embroil - Think the report is true.
Embryotic - Think I had better -
Emerald - Think I had better not -
Emetic - Think you had better -


on the same website, john mcvey's mutilation odes, poems written using the telegraph codes.

(!!!!)

This is cool. The poems are actually pretty interesting, especially the way they seem to speak to the epigraphs (? are they still epigraphs when positioned that way?). I just finished reading Susan Howe's "My Emily Dickinson."
