(I)
Suppose it really was a
sign that
was carelessly left to
float across the
marine sky
Or how for some time
and squeezed space
the birds opened up
into winged patterns and

mathematically chaotic directions,
But all the while

printing infinity on
sand,
You read it as a very
fat numerical of 8.
(II)
All that remains of

So Sabeer Bhatia has come up with a new ware on the shelf. InstaColl is a small download given its promises, and it seems pretty interesting. Been doing the rounds for some time, but now is when I finally try it!
