Future selves recycle past dynamic imaginations,
Greek Gods as muscular Yang athlete images
evolve from older internal messianic bodhisattva Yin,
double-edged incarnations of power.

It is in this coincidentia oppositorum,

A patchwork carpet stitched together
In shades of tawny browns yellows and green

It was a Greek sacred trinity
of arete as Western Yang
with Eastern sophrosyne 
flowing wisdom's futuring past Yin
double-bound in opulently fertile health
as harmonic balancing nature-spirits
co-arising kalokagathia Tipping Points,
our Western PreRenaissance of (0)-soul Taoism

It is funny! 
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty; 
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…

We stare with grim satisfaction
Because the black winged Angel 
Ridding a flaming chariot tells...

that certainly held more than just my secrets.

in humanity's destiny--
Disciplined...

Snake oily palms
got a-plenty 
under the table plans

Synthetic sly reptilian smile

Picking pockets with a hidden hand

Real filthy lucre fingernails

Dirty laundered money
