In
Kanazawa
all I do is sleep or wake:
Sabishisa ya.

Sabishisa
ya. = Ah this loneliness.

I
share an apartment
with Hitoshi.
Hitoshi
who takes
the eyeballs
from a Picasso print
and puts them
on the bedroom wall.
So
I close my eyes
and there is Picasso.
So
I go to sleep
and dream of Picasso.
Hitoshi.
Hitoshi.
I
like the way
you share your midnight loneliness.
It
is my entrance
to your soul.

Let
us examine
a conception
and the consequence.
First
there must be
a woman.
Or
possibly women.
And
certainly
a bowl of fruit.
Perhaps
a sailor
if the sailor
is a juggler
in the daytime.
And
a jaguar
when the sun goes down.
Aren’t
they really grotesque?
Aren’t
they really barbaric?
Aren’t
they really satanic?
But
in every way
‘Chacun est…
Each
one is…
‘Chacun
est
l’artisan
de sa fortune.
Each
one is
the architect
of his own fortune.
Or
as it is often said:
‘We get what we pluck.’

Bewildered:
By
what we can do
with money and power.
Make
war.
When
the politicians are hungry
for crime.
Make
war.
There
are existing values
and there are nonexisting values.
When
we are bored
with debauchery.
When
we are eager
for carnage.
Make
war.
Opinions
lead to opinions
lead to abstractions
lead to adversity.
The
cost is prohibitive.
The
sin is prohibitive.
No
man hath the right
to establish a war
unless he is willing
to fight single handed
in truth and in falsity.

Agathon
speaks:
And
there is love
that is completely free.
Neither
using force
to conquer
nor allowing itself
to be conquered.
The
soul
has knowledge
that the body
can never understand.
In
force
there is no harmony.
In
force
there is no charity.
In
force
there is no motive
and no pleasure.
Desire
celebrates
an affliction.
And
there is death.
