Peter Fend

PETER FEND INVENTED THE

FORM OF WRITING A WHOLE

PLANET COULD DO FURTHER

BECAUSE IT DERIVES FROM

THE NATURE OF ALPHABETS

NOT AN AIM TO BE ON TOP

SIGNS TALK DOWN BUT THE

WORD STACKS AGGLOMERATE

THEY BUBBLE UP FROM ANY

PERSON WITH AN ALPHABET

TRAINING FROM CHILDHOOD

DEMOCRACY HAS NEW POWER

WORD STACKS WILL SPREAD

AS A WAY TO COMMUNICATE

AND ESTABLISH COMMUNITY

AND, THEY ARE EASIER TO

READ THAN THE PARAGRAPH

BECAUSE THEY ARE GRAPHS

NOT PARA-GRAPHS BUT THE

REAL GRAPH, AS A LAYOUT

SPATIAL LOGIC ORGANIZES

VISUAL LANGUAGE WITH AN

ART THAT INTEGRATES ALL

AROUND US: ARCHITECTURE

LITERARY INVENTION WILL

COME FROM ARCHITECTURAL

HABITS OF THOUGHT TODAY

HOW CAN THE CIA CONTROL

SUCH A NEW WAY TO WRITE

FINALLY JAMES BOND MUST

RELENT, GIVING WAY TO A

FORCE OF COMMON THOUGHT

BY A CITIZEN NAMED FEND
