Ok so know one has said
A thing about Emily
Dickenson + Pythagoras = new heroes
You must have an opinion
So why not express it singularly
A way that would strengthen your
Resistance to simple plurality
The ancient world knew it all
They have forgotten more wisdom than we
Have learned
They have left their ruins and
Like them we will leave ours
Only ours won't be biodegradable
And not even dependable
Pythagoras on his island
Sharpening his stylo and working
His computations and understands
The mysteries of this life
He understands the purpose is to blend
Into the cosmos and leave the land and
The muscle behind
Emily Dickenson knew life was more
Supreme when left to Art and white
Dresses worn out doors in the night
Tending her phlox and her lilies
Sitting at her desk and writing and writing
Better than stuck behind the
Muscle of this life almost better than being out
On an island strumming your lute
Then there is Buddha by the side of road
Waiting for you to give him the answer
Are you able to sit with all of the strangeness
Of this Life or are you afraid of being alive

oh mr editor could you fix the know to no on the first line... rather silly error... i will have to speak with your publicist

I thought the Know was intentional, a play on words, in a poem about what we know. "leave the land and muscle behind...." a brilliant line.

correction "...leave the land and
The muscle behind
