Million Monkeys Project



A finite but extremely large number of monkey's with typewriters act as my muse during my creation of large amounts of creative works. Copyrights last for a cumbersome duration and so it is a goal of this project to place everything I make in the public domain.

Here you will find an exhaustive list of creative works that are in a fixed and tangible form. For example, my first project is an enormous list of two word poems which I have independently created. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a two word poem which I have not written (unless you include proper nouns).

For this day on, each of my creative works will forever be free (as in beer and speech) for anyone to copy. By placing my works in the public domain, I encourage anyone to use each work in anyway they wish without any attribution. That being said, I do retain the copyrights to the compilation of works, so do not redistribute my lists.

After writing poetry till my hands bled, I decided I should look to see what has already been written. Having only assumed that two word poetry might exist, it turns out I was correct. Below is some of the two word poetry others have written. Almost all of them can be found in the poetry lists I wrote independently wrote.

Muhammad Ali at Harvard College recited a now famous poem:

Me, we.

A great video behind this poem explains its origins. I also independently wrote this famous poem without any prior knowledge of its existence. It can be found in both the One Million List and One Billion Plus List.
