“I could kiss, say,”

Please experience this piece in fullscreen at this link.
“I could kiss, say,” can be played with keyboard (space + arrow keys), mouse or touch screen. It is a ‘ludokinetic poem’; that is, a poem that imbues the reader with responsibility for (and implicates them in) one or more outcomes via interactivity. In playing through it, you don’t merely explore or encounter the poem but enact it. You are an anticipated feature of it. For further explanation see the artist’s short essay on this subject or his book, Dual Wield: The Interplay of Poetry and Video Games.
