Book 2 #69  -  01/15/2002 4:50 PM

leap into the void of uncertainty
build a machine capable of travel to the heavens.
[that constructs] poetry immediately
 
[but what are you going to do when]
suddenly confronted with a huge mass of people who see things very differently?
 
Man's existence is just the tiniest,
most insignificant moment in the grand scheme of things.
We know (from Pure Reason) that the objects 
which appear to us are, subjectively and transcendentally speaking, 
really no more than figments of our imagination,
a ray of hope shimmering in the mind.
[consider,] perhaps every death is sudden and untimely.
root around in ideological compost heaps [if you must but]
Sooner or later, this residential city will be destroyed and you will be  evicted  

I do not wish to dwell on the ruthless, 
remorseless, efficient, step-by-step, 
‘tear-back-the-top-to-allow-venting-and- microwave-five-minutes’ [style of] killing
[moving] systematically from room to room, from floor to floor.

There are no `bad guys' to point your finger at 
in silent, pursed-lipped condemnation.
Read on. It's true.
We will NOT re-direct you around and around in a loop
Is it getting troublesome keeping track [of yourself]
when you fall asleep?
