Sonnets To JenniCam I, 9

January 26, 1997 ?

Only one who began the webcam craze could draw from her fans such endless praise. Only one whose face is a gift to the net could leave the traces we'll never forget. Those who say she will bore us all speak in vain: she never will. Though the image before us may seem mundane, we watch it still.

Fort Collins, March 28, 1999

In addition to being a tribute to Jenni, this poem is also a satire of R. M. Rilke's "Sonnets to Orpheus I, 9".
