"UW" Poem

UW-Cluster Spell

An Infinite Monkeys micro-script built around a single vowel and a tiny pronoun engine.

Blurb

This micro-script builds a tiny haunted chant out of a single vowel: UW. Every content word is drawn from the dictionary cluster that shares that sound—nouns, adjectives, and verbs all humming in the same phonetic key—so the output feels like a little cult hymn that can’t stop echoing itself.

The FUNC(CONJ, PRON) block is a miniature conjugation engine: you feed it a pronoun like "I" or "they", and it returns the appropriate present-tense verb macro (VBP or VBZ). That gets used in the last line, where WORD5 (a pronoun from PPS) calls CONJ to glue a subject, a matching verb, and a possessive plural noun phrase together.

The pattern lines above it recycle the same small cast of variables—WORD1 through WORD4—in different syntactic frames: transitive verb phrases, self-declarative “I am the …” lines, and adverb–participle constructions. The result is a tight little loop of language where sound, grammar, and identity keep folding back on each other, like a spell that’s trying to define the speaker while trapped inside one vowel.
