Some Spoiled Dim Sum Nietzsche

 

Robert Motherwell painted his way into my apartment

with his Homely Protestant

and his Totemic Figure

 

while Rothko’s many Greeks

toiled away at some spoiled dim sum Nietzsche

that was free before eleven

 

and the things you do in stairwells

are hardly uplifting,

 

such appellations

are meant to be ironic

 

Russ –

I will meet you at the Sparkling Dime

at half past five

to talk about your movie

 

about how we can write all the actors

out of the script so that the props

will work for free.

  2. Humanity is moving in Circles!

Times after times,

Humanity thinks it is moving

Civilizations after Civilizations,

Humanity thinks it is advancing

Reigns after reigns,

Humanity thinks it is in control

Inventions after inventions,

Humanity thinks it is in comfort

Values after values,

Humanity thinks it is living

Relationships after relationships,

Humanity thinks it is all-knowing

Truths after truths,

Humanity thinks it is at peace with self

 

But:

Humanity seems to be lagging behind time

Humanity’s advancement is retarding

Humanity is rather subjugated

Humanity is in discomfort

Humanity is nearly second to dead

Humanity seems to know nothing

Humanity is at logger-heads with self.

 

Nonetheless…

Humanity seeks for the way-outs

It thinks they will pave the way

The adventure begins…

Science

The Beyond-Analogy of Newton’s Laws of Motion

 ben24

Introduction

The classical Newtonian laws of motion are very valid to this present day. As a matter of fact, the entirety of science has its uniqueness in the dynamic foundation of the laws of motion postulated by physicist, Sir Isaac Newton.

The ‘Beyond-Physics’ laws of motion is an analogy of their natural dynamics in the light of meta-physics. The only difference is in their units-presently, there are no fathomable yardsticks or measuring parameters to ascertain intrinsic (eternal) variables associated with this phenomenon (see their explanations in subsequent chapters)

The chapters are stated in the order of the laws of motion as well as subsequent ‘beyond-physics’ statements and analysis (explanations). Strictly, Newton’s laws of motion focus on the action of forces, determining position and a direction of bodies acted on. Similarly, the ‘beyond-physics’ laws are influenced by a special force as the force of inspiration. While a body or an object is used to identify with Newton’s laws of motion, man, humanity or mankind is the analogous body; used to identify with the ‘beyond-physics’ analogy of Newton’s laws of motion…

O My Heart

 

Your words will live with me all my life

Your gesture and posture

Thoughtfulness and care

Glitter my heart all the way

You are my glory, my sweet heart

You are my soil, half of the circle

Fails the energy to move the elements

If not there your sweet voice

When I am in touch of you

It rings bell to open the door

Or like the cat sleeping beside me

Under this warm blanket or mattress

Never pushed back

Again and again peeping at her

On the door

O my boss, O my heart.

The Long Fire

 

a long fire from the back alley of time

rises out of Ouija’s letters,

one small alphabetical

creeping up after another,

until this blaze catches on the board,

sparked like rubbing one stick on another

by the claws of her sweet planchette;

and what a fire it is, too,

enough to barbecue a giraffe

or some other elegant

ungulate from the plains—

growing, growing like a clear cut blaze

in a corporate logger’s wallet,

like an oil well flare

lighting up a desert night,

like Big Boy’s dawn over Hiroshima,

like the gates of hell—

can’t be stopped,

can’t be contained,

can’t be looked at straight on

without protective eyewear—

can’t be starved

like those other petty blazes

‘cause they didn’t have

these few words

scratched on the kindling:

No job is worth

the death of your angels
