This work is a lyrical celebration that the authors describe as "an interactive poetry piece where text merges with images, sounds and movies."

The few text anchors also evoke the floating and gentle characteristics of water: a subtly different shade of white, until the reader hovers over the anchor--and it turns red, breaking the spell of the calm and flowing water.

Images are key to navigating here, and the images are subtle as well: the anchor images float on the water or move across the water, merging the hypertextual, graphic, sound, and movement elements.

The text also provides modest embedded links, which trigger photos on the page or go to other texts. Here duck gives us: Screenshots used by permission. And a smile on my face brings us back to "the water began to flow, south, southwest."
