From 2764ce38ff89667fc4073fb66cdd634caaffd613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Case Duckworth Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:01:16 -0700 Subject: Fix #9 - ekphrastisize some poems For ekphrastic articles, add `ekphrastic` node to YAML metadata. This node includes subnodes `image`, `title`, `alt`, `link`, and `class`. `image` provides a link to the local image--just include the file name with the extension, not the folder (all images should be in /img/.) `title` provides the title of the image, and the alt-text, if there is no `alt` node. `alt`, if it exists, provides the alt text for the image. `link`, if present, wraps the image in an `` tag--it should point to the source web page of the ekphrastic image. `class`, if present, sets the class(es) for the image, for styling. In this commit, I've set `ekphrastic` on the four articles that have them so far: 'The Death Zone,' 'AMBER alert,' 'The moon is gone,' and 'Man.' I've also updated .template.html with the changes, and updated README.md to reflect the changes in YAML structure. --- initial-conditions.html | 17 ++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'initial-conditions.html') diff --git a/initial-conditions.html b/initial-conditions.html index 72357ea..8807171 100644 --- a/initial-conditions.html +++ b/initial-conditions.html @@ -37,15 +37,14 @@ -

There is a theory which states the Universe
if it began with the same initial conditions
( same gravity same strong weak nuclear force same
size and shape ) would unfold in exactly
the way it has : with the same planets orbiting suns
same people making same mistakes : like this morning

-

( It’s actually past two but I will call it morning )
while turning on the shower : I as the Universe
intended ( although I was expecting the heat of suns )
had the ice of inner space : those pre existing conditions
before the Big Bang : the shower was almost exactly
freezing for a split second : every day it’s the same :

-

I turn on the tap hop in pull the knob have the same
moment of utter panic then pain then a relaxing morning
shower where I spend between five to ten ( I’m not sure exactly )
minutes : I have good thoughts : this poem about the Universe
for example : I had the idea while I was conditioning
my hair : it came to me like accidentally looking at the sun :

-

the pain and the wonder that something as large as suns
could appear so small and yet so hot all at the same
time : so hot in the summer we require air conditioning
( although now in the winter it’s cold in the morning )
and I can’t wait to hop in the shower that tiny universe
of water and steam and soap and body : that and only that exactly

-

or rather exclusively ( it’s hard to get the words exactly
right : the meanings bleed into each other like the sun’s
shadows on pavement ) ready for me to dream another universe
into it on top of it again and again until they all look the same :
I can’t tell whether it’s my morning or the shower’s morning
or where I put the conditioner or what the initial conditions

-

could have been that decided I would misplace my conditioner
today : and why and how much planning was involved exactly
that would cause so far down the production line of this morning
: me to wake up so long after the rising of the sun
: me to stay inside all day even after showering to look at the same
computer screen : to give up the actual universe to the universe

-

in there with its conditions : where the screen serves as sickly sun :
where there is apparently exactly what I need : no more : the same
three sites I visited this morning comprising my entire Universe
