To cultivate a pleasure in being wrong sounds perverse, yet losing an argument means escaping from an old idea and the acquisition of a new way of looking at things.

– Edward de Bono – Lateral Thinking

This page, for instance,

wasn’t made to be read.

It was made to be pallid,

a merely stolen Iliad,

something keeping quiet,

a leaf long fallen

going back to its branch.

It was made to be beach,

who knows, Andromeda, Antarctica,

Himalaya, sensed syllable,

it was made to be ultimate,

something yet unmade.

Words carried far

by the waters of the Nile,

one day this page, papyrus,

will have to be translated

into symbol, Sanskrit,

into every Indian’s dialect,

will have to say good day

just to what’s murmured at the ear,

will have to be rough stone

where someone drops a glass.

Isn’t that how life is?

– Paulo Leminski – ‘ADVICE TO THE SHIPWRECKED’

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them – words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.

– Stephen King –

A poem written by Adam A. DeFranco

your body is a seed

of translation

a transposing fire ball proclamation

of evolutionary ascendants

concurrently of liberated circuitry

ascension is the new cue

of bearing the fire

the one chakra self source code

telepathy clairvoyance clairaudience

emerging full spectrum

prismatically solarized

dimensionally multi linguistic

a toroidal transducer of cosmic source data

you think atomized coat

of flesh and blood

your sacred body

luminous holographic plasma

an ascending modality

of non temporalized quantum affluxuations

the energetic fortuitous paradigm of neo tesla physics

you are the encapsulation preordained emulation

of superluminal core essence

wings of the 3rd eye

lusciosly spread

thriving divine entities

your body is a seed

of evolutionary liberated circuitry

translating into full saturation

a long train of blue dreams

source code with infinite layers
