Oh, I wondered why some people were visiting theeggandtherock.com from Hacker News. (I popped over to check.) I see, it’s downstream of this…

Yes, a very nice Brazilian guy set up theendpoem.com the day after I put the End Poem in the public domain.

There are a number of such sites now, in different languages. Someone recently did a Japanese translation. People have put it to music, made little films, used it in comics, and so on.

I saw a great live/virtual reality hybrid show in the Barbican in London, where they’d translated it into Mandarin, and an old woman sang it. (The text also appeared in English, beneath the dome of a virtual temple.) Lovely to see it out there in the world. Feel free to play around with it, that’s why I gave it away.
