Nonsense for these twirling times

[. This is my punishment for being away too long: AI suggestions for post topics now appear, and I quote: Tackling Dimensions Embracing Worms in Language Emotion in Language Thus. I shall be doing none of those things. .] Long-awaited twinkling from the deepest stars, The Third Population, shining fitfully into pre-archaic expanses, Greets us in their own inconceivably distant future. Be shone upon, you latter-day beings! You saints, you fiends, you mindless objec

Worms

Nifty wriggly worms Worming their way through the substance of soil Leaving behind holes of looser language Semi-digested semantical notions Newly jumbled, chumbled, mumbled Conquered by the conqueror, Doctored by the doctor Blind and slimy, churning through the land of mind To keep it from getting too dense, too hard, too concrete, Searching without knowing for nothing in particular Eating the earth of everybrain, nibbling neurons Noiseless in a wriggly field of falsehood an

Emotion

There is all the difference in the world Between inspiring emotion And manipulating emotions. There is all the difference in the world Between motivating people And controlling people There is all the difference in the world Between grabbing a person by the earlobe and telling them how to feel And Art. Greed never creates; it only ever destroys.

Over, Under, and through-standing

Around and around and around and around, Over, Under, and Through. These are the words of Grover, and it is our proposition that they carry a good deal of weight. It is a grave error, graver than most, to try to jump too quickly to Understanding. Also rather dangerous. Bad ankle fractures are a serious possibility When one tries to jump to under standing. Better to absorb first. Listen first. Hear first. Receive data before imposing your pair of dimes onto the world. Exp

The running string

[This is a poem about a running string.] [This is a comment explaining that the above comment is explaining the poem] What is the running string and what are its ties? Stretching both forward and backward Farther in any direction than anyone can see The running string, just a little bit slack Fuzzy but unfrayed, a trailing braid, Connecting the unknown to the unseen. To pluck, to twitch, to twang the running string Is to tug on the ties of infinite past and infinite future. I

Treeee

This tree, not another This tree, spreading branches This tree, digging roots This tree, concealing a secret portal in its wood Leading to the interior of tree This tree, its limbs posts, This tree, its leaves pages This tree, its trunk a treaty between earth and air This tree, fully tree, fully wood Fully log, fully lumber Full of lumberlog and hollow worry Dark musty air and Raccoons.

Into the Sky

A squirrel, a whirl, folded paper twirling Silent across the blackness through the chill air Flying, Flying, Flying Past the crystal sparkles of piercing stars Over trees, over mountains, over moons A new satellite like lightning draws ineffable souls to itself. Upward, up word, open but weird, Folded weird, flying twirling, chilling, willing, Into the sky.

Thinking

How much misery do we create in the world By overthinking the wrong things And underthinking the right ones. As I type this, I note that the spell-check function In the text editor Recognizes "overthinking" as a word, but not "underthinking". So confident are we that the problem is always thinking too much And never not thinking enough. I have a thinking feeling about this. How about overfeeling and underfeeling? It looks like those both earn a "not-a-word" flag. So the comp

New Insights into the Problem of Vision

Brilliant flashing truth is here: In the village of fog, clarity is rarity Partly flying through the lazy nothing of contentment, Partly blazing in motionless crystals of logic, It is always here after a fashion, crashing into the empty nation. Brilliant flashing truth is here: Its absence tells its entire tale of terror Traded for used food and approximate appetites, Swaddled in desires without objects, A tourniquet of treacherous teachings from traitors. If we must become
