Where am I?

Removed. Blacked out.
Navigating in both space and time.
It simply is. [Growing shorter.]
Wondering which bugs are trapped in amber.
So it goes. 



Source: Slaughterhouse-Five or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-dance with Death by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Method: This is a remixed poem composed from chapter 4 of the novel, where I assigned a random number (91 965 286 3147) to pick out only those sentences/lines that corresponded to the number. For instance, I noted down the ninth line/sentence from the first page of chapter 4, the first line/sentence from the second page of chapter 4, and so on, till the end of the chapter, which, coincidentally, also contained twelve pages in all. The chapter number was determined by chance that involved picking out a chit from a bowl.
