I Am My Father's Son
They were gambling in front of the house.
Manservants and pages bustled about
Serving Suitors who just curse and carouse.

"Clean down the tables with wet sponges! Rouse
Yourselves! And when...

Reading Csikszentmihalyi again,

I could change my mind
about adopting you
no more than change my heart's content
about what is healthy
and what is diseased absence of integrity
and what lies somewhat uneasily in-between
within my contenting patient bicameral mind.

Surrounded yourself in a realm so sedate.

On The Evolution Of Liberation…

Once again
our humanity is taxonomically
mocked---no longer ¾
Homo sapiens---a step
just below
that of being human.  Rather, 
today, we’re an endangered species---

we started together,

wandered this earth,
the smell of soil permeated our senses.
we stayed so close 
our roots began to bond,
the origin of our creation
became a union, an abomination.

Or perfect words' tones at place

Does it make one wise like ants?
