Cogito
Every last one of my thoughts Is begged, borrowed or stolen Somewhere in memory They are freeze-dried or frozen I want to chip at the edifice Want to recognize what's real Is it some second-hand artifact Or a thing I can call real? Every last one of my friends Is there because I put them In some sub-cavernous lair Like a pre-ancestral...

Ukrainian Cogito
I fight, I live, I die, therefore I am! My thoughts, my thoughts, You give me strength. The winds of war had scattered my soul, until I read these lines in a sad column, just specks of truth. My misfortune blown away with the cogito, in our Ukraine orphaned children have stories to pass on to the next generation, of a heroic nation...

I'm not notable reader of the rich Latin language, That treasures within its realm mountainous barns of knowledge… Thoughts and philosophies, like symphony, around-the-clock, To this ocean, like sea animals, for full refuge, flock... Of all, like sediments, one who has settled in my mind, And floats to the surface, like unfettered feather inter-twined; Is Rene Descartes – French, who’d taught...

Cogito Ergo Sum Libero
“Destiny” implies a controlling external force - the random positioning of planets in solar orbit, or the mysterious machinations of a spurious spirit in the sky - both impressively improbable and laughably unlikely. Occam’s razor slashes! And free will is the last rational refuge standing... September 14, 2020...

I wonder... if that known were but a dream and that unknown were real, do I exist? or... if that known does not exist and that unknown ceases existence upon becoming known, can I exist?...

Cogito Ergo Something
The account of Descartes was redoubtable: “I exist, since this thought is undoubtable.” Mister Hume peered inside, Said, “I see naught besides Just my thoughts, so your logic is floutable.”...

Cogito Cogito Ergo Cogito Sum
I think i am here for now until it's all done and my earthly tasks are completed. Will they speak the same words spoken of life with tear marks glistening and crystallized on the cheeks of the visitors. Will the guests guess what was in my thoughts at the time. Voices whispering day and night causing...

Cogito Ergo Sum Confusion
What if the great Rene Descartes, Renaissance man of many parts. for all his fame and coruscation is nothing but a fine creation of my own imagination? Philosophically disabused. I think therefore I am confused....

Cogito Ergo Sum
If a light thinker, I am superficial... If ponderous, I am the elephant in the room, unwanted and unloved. If I think at all, I am minority, wandering from problem to conclusion— again..again bringing forth curious glances from everyone who likes one's own conclusions undisturbed, set in place, like rows of potted plants drying over winter. It is better only...

I often sit and ponder many things A host of multifarious subjects: A few perhaps are shallow but they bring Me food for thought, the balance are complex. At times I think about the universe The sphere of life and death experience. Those thoughts alone I find myself immersed In deepest meditation, Transcendence. And other times I’m simply lost in...
