Not too sure if I believe this - I think you can find fractals/images/messages in anything if you look hard enough (though God alone knows what they would make of  Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves creation).  If it is all 'stream of conscious' stuff like Virginia Woolf's 'The Waves', then that makes perfect sense, but not really in Joyce's work.  To be honest, I am surprised that they find anything structual in Joyce's Ulysses at all, as the last chapter is a monologue that seemingly has no punctuation whatsoever.  Where is the 'perfect cascade' there?

Chatted to senior lecturer about this.

Me - Is there any truth in this?

MW - Well, you may find structures in anything if you frame the parameters of the search in the right way.

Me - I was thinking that, too.  You can read into something any which way you like.

Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.

So, tell me before you look it up, what is so special about this poem? Extra hint re the pic - not related to the poem, but to definitely to the conumdrum.

How Soon Is Now? )

I am the son
and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
