POWER OF HOPE AND DESIRE

 

WISHING FOR WISHES TO COME THROUGH

i am past 80

eser is almost 70

she is young

so am I

we tried

with good wishes

leaving hope and desire 

to be fulfilled 

by other time crystals

not of our ken or kin

knowing

that

we will ever be young

to each other

and all

who see us 

as we are 

and saw us

as we were

she feels people

i feel mysteries

and 

we

 meet

people with mysteries

forgetting

our anxieties

still

despairing

for humanity

and 

cheering

the search

CALL FOR STRUCTURING

 

REARRANGEMENT GONE AWRRY

there was a convocation

for 

a convention

resulting in

a magisterium

to reside

in one body

but 

pieces were missing

of thoughts

of

implements

of

vocabulary

and 

too many bits

 and even chunks

to fill in the gaps

completion was considered

with no consensus 

postponement 

was the final word

it was decided to 

convene at another

curvature of time and space

dependent on a mystical

or 

an uncertainly calculable

birth 

or

creation

of new beings

on a new landhold

with a different

mindhold

worthy

to fathom

examine

complete

and

indulge

PRENUPS, TRADE TREATIES, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

COMMON LAW VS CIVIL LAW

deeper down

both mean the same

laws apply

to the common man

and civilians

or the weaker side

or group

or partner

or nation

even

in international organizations

and families

aristocratic

royal

and 

wealthy or destitute

trade treaties

international

and commercial

are like

prenups

until 

the promise

vaporizes

and the assets

if any 

are up for grabs

subject to

trust and trusts

glass ceilings

stockholm syndromes

Sigmund Freud and Nicola Machiavelli

even when

real princes do not exist

in the world

structured by power

and selfishness

and greed

ME - ISM AND WE - ISM

 

CONFUSING INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP IDENTITY

i like this

we hate them

subjects

and objects

interchangeable

replaceable

contingent

racist or nationalistic

DNA tested 

and

ancestor guessed it

royally individual

never really plural

self knighted

rooked

with queens

imaginary

hoped for

by all the kings

as leaders

supposed spouses

spaces apart

contemporaneous

possibly 

simultaneous

anthropologically

possible

fictionally forgotten

subliminally apparent

sometimes scanned

other times

just propagandized

ever

singular and

first party plural

and subject

to Weber's law
