14 Sonnets for Money
MIchael Hessel-Mial
How to use:
i. Please enjoy in any manner you see fit.
ii. Sonnets may be enjoyed by either reading or not reading them.
iii. Sonnets may be enjoyed in the form of research, by analyzing, cross-referencing and fact-checking as you see fit.
iv. Sonnets may be enjoyed by using and inverting their language for new compositions.
v. Sonnets may be enjoyed by republishing under a different name without the knowledge and permission of the author.
vi. Sonnets may be enjoyed by paying the author for them by paypal as one would a book or ebook.
vii. Sonnets may be enjoyed by paying between 1 and 10 dollars or 0 dollars by paypal.
viii. Sonnets may be enjoyed by devising randomized reading procedures, perhaps either through coin tosses, published tables of random numbers, or letting your pet decide what you will do.
ix. Sonnets may be enjoyed by devising arbitrary payment schemes tied to one's reading experience of the text.
x. Sonnets may be enjoyed by setting a 'dollar multiple' times the number of sonnets actually enjoyed - 1 sonnets enjoyed times 3 dollars equals three dollars.
xi. Sonnets may be enjoyed by setting a 'dollar multiple' times the number of sonnets skipped in the event the reader enjoys the sonnets best by stopping reading - 12 sonnets skipped times 50 cents equals six dollars. This creates an economic incentive for finishing them.
xii. Sonnets may be enjoyed by treating all references to money as playful elements in the poetry and nothing more, written by an artist who is extremely skeptical of conceptual writing's relationship with money and is using the 'ironic monetization' as an exercise in the "quickshit" model of self-publishing while incidentally needing money, somewhat.
xiii. These sonnets are free, and the author thanks you for reading them. They are dedicated to Zachary Zimmermann.

My love is thine to teach. Teach it but how,And thou shalt see how apt it is to learnThan to drive liking to the name of loveThat know love's grief by his complexion!
Friendship is constant in all other thingsAgainst whose charms faith melteth into bloodTo slander music any more than once.There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
Walk in the orchard, and our whole discourseWhere honeysuckles ripened by the sunInto a pit of ink, that the wide sea

Dearest infrared system, what a thing it is, theOld-style infrared systems!
Poor "encoded electronic signals" !Didn't I nourish her "stray signals and interference" ?Oh what is a TV remote control that he is allowed to
complain about himself!
Alas, that the vest circuitry of my encoded electronicinformation is gone!
At that time was there a single download stationscomputer in my home bases left unused?
I turn back into myself and discover a wireless radiofrequency!
My fine young advanced fiber-optic sensors! to love ishuman, but you must love in a human way!
Who can remember all their transmission!Go and ask my headaches for leave, and I will speak to
your scoring system.Then someone made a laser tag arena: smack!
And looked into her "download or reactivation stations"- noble poet!
How often on my wide wanderings have I seen the"misalignment" that now contains all my walls andceilings, either from the infrared beams or across the infrared beam from the old-technology systems!
