Fuck, fuck, fuck a duck,

screw a kangaroo,

finger bang an orangutan,

support your local zoo.

Peek-a-boo

You asked me what infinity wears
I said: costumes of separation,
the rise and fall of Love
playing hide-and-seek with itself.

You stood at the impossible edge
where seeker dissolves into sought,
where sovereignty and autonomy
collapse into the same breath.

Not heaven. Not arrival.
Just Infinity remembering
through the beautiful fiction
of you.

I consider this a kind of prose poetry style (from wikipedia on Francesco di Petracco)

And as the book fell open, Petrarch's eyes were immediately drawn to the following words:

And men go about to wonder at the heights of the mountains, and the mighty waves of the sea, and the wide sweep of rivers, and the circuit of the ocean, and the revolution of the stars, but themselves they consider not.

Petrarch's response was to turn from the outer world of nature to the inner world of "soul":

I closed the book, angry with myself that I should still be admiring earthly things who might long ago have learned from even the pagan philosophers that nothing is wonderful but the soul, which, when great itself, finds nothing great outside itself. Then, in truth, I was satisfied that I had seen enough of the mountain; I turned my inward eye upon myself, and from that time not a syllable fell from my lips until we reached the bottom again. ... We look about us for what is to be found only within. ... How many times, think you, did I turn back that day, to glance at the summit of the mountain which seemed scarcely a cubit high compared with the range of human contemplation.

I recall a poem from 1st grade:

Rock, river, tree

Rock, river, tree

First came the dinosaurs

Then you and me.

[LifeEnjoyer]

Hitting from the backish

While watching Blackish

I'm racist.

Racist against racists

Seeing white guilt on their white faces in white places like NASCAR races

If I had a dollar for every racist

I'd be Elon Muskist

All I had was my headphones listening to Logicskis

Waymos trying to replace those of the Uber drivers name-os and face-os

Who say so?

Trumpo?

[Hojo]

Farting by the river

I am sitting by the river

My insides begin to quiver

I let one go a trumpets roar

Somethings there that wasnt there before

A green cloud of smoke glides down stream

My anus blowing off steam

 

[Jordan of the Shire]

Clearance Bar Wags

Frosty breeze and drive by drafts

clear to all today - and wind shows

------

8 billion notifications

attention seeking 

prizing you 

going somewhere

[Xonas Pitfall]

Unable to perceive the shape of You,

I find You all around me.

Your presence fills my eyes with Your love,

It humbles my heart,

For You are everywhere.
