'twas good enough for me







differences                                               










The sense of time goes unquestioned
Entelechial questions go unanswered
The sense of a nation's promise lost
The idea of a forward march is imperialism now
Aristotle's notion of a better world to come
Has been replaced by Schopenhauer's nauseating ID
Nietzsche picks it up
Hitler picks up on it, too
Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will

Thanksgiving:
The Indians lay out a feast
The whites slaughter them

The ideas of our world-views aren't clear
I'm fighting to clarify them
Yes to two kingdoms
Yes to meaning
Yes to the entelechial
Jesus as the primary figure of the avant-garde
He could walk on water
He could insist on justice for the poor.
