For me, this is on a par with (written by a student in an essay on the building of the transcontinental railway in Canada) "the country was now connected by a band of steal." And so it was... 

Let's see...among other things, poetry = playing with languge.
I chuckled...so she must have been playing.  Logical, no?
The question she was answering was, "What would change tomorrow if science could prove that your collected memories are merely a fabrication?" Brain in a vat time...

One should not be so quick to criticize.  Perhaps the rapid writer is
running out of chance to have changed it..  Or else perhaps this is a
