Long Transcribed Poems

"The Book of Changes"

what may have been

multicultural feelings:

1. For the overwhelming masses
of teeming and scheming 
healthy human adults,
and especially adolescents,
peak sexual experiences
are also our peak

In his essay "Let's Be Reasonable"

This is a common left-brain dominant error,
confusion between deductive premises

calculated assuming cause v effect linear formulas

Every second, every minute, every single thought about you
Wonders of this still could be too good to be true

Words 
lines drawn 
unending

dusk

dawn

characters recognised

symphonies sublime;

engraved in time
most rocks crumble
dissolve, 

life has no need
for unnecessary 
rhyme

beginning of...

We shed divine spirit of faith for the flesh
Without weaving...

Corporate concrete

To the same things you thought set you free
Where solutions to society's problems 
Don't correct anything

Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers,
whether Eastern Taoists
or Western Animists
(and almost certainly both)
did not think to separate
Left from Right,
mind from body,
passion from pleasure,
if only because our peak...
