I just started checking this out, but I have to say
that this 'commercial' 'poem' is like:
- an equivalent of the 1950's (late?) Raymond Scott
tape-collage commercial that IBM sponsered for
promoting their broad range of automation
tools/machines.
- the text-sound poetry of the early 70's from Sweden
(mostly that is all I know about)
...and thus I think it *could* be legitimately
sponsered by IBM. So far...
