<p>Click on a word to select it, click on it again to unselect. When you’ve found your poem hit Blackout! Get a screen shot and copy the words below!</p>
<p>Copy the words you found here for alt-text, editing and archive! (Remember we don’t keep anything, so once you close this page, this poem is gone!)</P>

<p>The challenge is simple—select words from this page of text and find a poem. From there you can save it as an image and share it. </p>
<p>You can copy the text below the page and use it as a starting point to write your own poem. </p>
<p>You can make as many poems as you want each day with the same page. So don’t worry about ‘messing up.’</p>
<p>The page will be new each day. We have a bunch of different titles (see the list!). The pages are chosen at random, which means they will vary in content, which is a part of the challenge for you. </p>
<p>Make your posts with this hashtag so we can see you! </p>
<h1>Buttons</h1>
<h2>Start Over</h2>
<p>This will reset everything back to the start. There is no undo! </p>
<h2>Blackout!</h2>
<p>This inverts your page, blacking out what you didn’t choose, showing only what you did. It is now ready to be saved as an image!</p>
<h2>Save as Image</h2>
<p>This will save just the page portion of the site as a PNG file. </p>
<h1>What can I do with these poems / images / things</h1>
<p>Anything you want. </p>
<p>The text from these books is in the public domain, and you are free to use, remake, remix any way you want. </p>
<p>The images are yours and you make do what you wish. If you love us, let people know. But attribution is not required. </p>
<h1>Privacy</h1>
<p>We do not track you. We do not collect any data. We do not save copies of your poems. The Javascript libraries and fonts are self-hosted to prevent others from using them to track you. </p>
<p>The only way we will know if you use our site is if you tell us!</p>
<h1>Contact</h1>
<p>webmaster@ </p>
<p>We are intolerant of intolerance. If you see something hateful, transphobic, homophobic, racist, or the like, let us know.</p>
<p>We didn’t write any of the pages you see. While we do our best to pick works that don’t have hateful or hurtful contexts, that doesn’t mean that something could slip through. </p>
<p>If you see something, tell us, we will make it go away.</p>
<h1>Notes on Mobile</h1>
<p>The DBPC will work on your phone, but with some caveats. The screen shots are based on the actual size of the screen being used. </p>
<p>For best results, turn your phone landscape before taking the screenshot. </p>
<h1>Note on Poems!</h1>
<p>Since each day presents a limited canvas it is completely possible that two people will have the same, or very similar, words selected. That’s ok! This is a game to start your mind working. Your poem is still your poem even if someone else found it too! </p>
