my feelings (on global stuff)


O sweet spontaneous

by: e.e. cummings (1894-1962)

sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting

fingers of
prurient philosophers P-nched
and
poked

thee
, has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy

beauty, how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and

buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true

to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover

thou answerest

them only with

spring)

Leave it to Osprey to come up with something profound and beautiful. The other topic left me synaptically challenged as I listened to well defined claptrap from both sides of the agenda (spectrum). Some left me angry in their shallow interpretations and perceptions, some left me feeling hopeless in their lack of depth or wisdom, but Osprey has once again zeroed in on a more universal truth. Thank you my friend.

Thanks Jim, I've always liked cummings. Bereft of self-importance and endowed with delicious sloth, he was just too damned lazy to bother with capital letters. I like his style.
