                                                i'm trying to get beyond          
                                                   the necessity          
                                                    of its flow      
                                                         
                                                  trying to leave          
                                                  its constant run          
                                                         
                                                  and linger on the      
                                                   
                                                        red      
                                                       
                                                   my closed eye          
                                                       
                                                       sees        
                                                       
                                                   when looking          
                                                    at the sun

This seems to be indicative of an inescapable problem in idealism.

This seems to be indicative of an inescapable problem in idealism.

To the extent that one of the inescapable problems of pragmatism is its need to idealize truth.

[Erthona]

Nah, I think it is a hyper-symbolic visualization of specialized truth or prima facie universality, without a presuppositional non-specific ground. That just my guess though.

And here I was just trying to be serious in this fucking place, just once,
and someone has to go and shit on my prima facie facade!

You want pretty pictures?     Turn off your mirror.

Oh, I guess I didn't realize that it was a poem beyond reproach, but of course that is why you put it here in Missileanus  Miscellaneous Poetry.

I shall endeavor uppermostly in my ongoing attempt to metamorphose my seriousness (gotcha sucker).
Of course my missananus poetry is, sans slightest trace of eggomania, above repoach.
Anyone proclaiming this obviousity is a sycophantically shallow creature vainly hoping
to prey on my nonexistent vanity as he cannot do so by his own merits.

"The embarrassment you all feel is entirely justified, as it is in keeping with the way the rest of the evening has gone. Basically no one thinks it's a good idea when a middle aged man reaches for a guitar...and that is interesting, because there have been a lot of spurious articles in the press recently about what is the last taboo in stand-up. Is it jokes about race? Is it jokes about rape? It isn't. In my experience, after doing this for the last five months, the last taboo in stand-up is a man trying to do something sincerely and well. People hate it. 'Oh no, he's not going to sing, is he? Do some rape stuff! Send us home laughing!'."

And therein lies the problem. 'Sincere' is easy, 'well' is hard.
