See No Evil

I see no evil in the Mortise and tenon and in the thin Red line Mao traced in a Thousand or more Platitudes still Posing deftly in old Wuhan. Just a while ago I did glimpse a Twinkle in the Delicate curl of a child’s Lip and in the Tender. Millions of centimeters away the French, in Perfect nonchalance, Pause, as stock markets Nip and tuck to Languid sips of cool cool Wine. -Jeff Troyer April 2020

So true! My sentiments are that us laymen are not the root of evil. Not a small, delicate child certainly nor those in pursuit of culture and appreciation for the wonders of our world!
