3rd Temperament t

After the reading
a great number
of people
perhaps all that
could hear
were lightheaded
from profound thought

I am glad
you and I were there
to direct them
back to
a less intellectual
safety

3rd Temperament s

Slowly gaining
equilibrium
the travelers
found themselves
standing
motionless
in the product
of requiring
their own way

their encounter
with all that
the lack of wisdom
and foresight
had to offer them
was recorded
by observers
unable to abandon
their own
peace and safety

3rd Temperament r

Subtracting
this ships
great noise

or adding
silence

float on this
cloud soft
landscape

3rd Temperament q

I have come
to initiate
my request
for entry
into
the most private
chambers

please show me
the bound treasures
that can
unfold the secrets
of time
and space
and matter
show me
the calculations
that would help me
understand
this crowded
hostile planet

3rd Temperament p

Some writings
indicate
that the
arc of significance
is a sustained
luminous discharge
of electricity
across the gap
between
time and motion

3rd Temperament o

You and
your movement
are hereby
informed that
no attempt
to enlist
the criteria
of art
to stand
in judgement
of cosmology
can be tolerated

words of chaos
will not change
the language
of science

3rd Temperament n

A
responsibility

to the genius
of art

accept it
or clear the way

3rd Temperament m

One day he appeared
standing on this corner
and
he started writing
the solutions
to some problems
he overheard
in the conversations
of those who passed by

although
he never would
discuss it with any one
his advise was good
clearly written
and given freely

then one day
he was no longer
standing on this corner
I think
he must have gone some where
to be with other wise men
so he could enjoy
being wise

3rd temperament l

He lived for seven years
in the theatre of the mask

his face
was constantly covered
by a mask
decorated with
bright and shiny colors

he was always looking
through two round holes
that served as
expressionless eyes

breathing was never easy
for him

then after seven years
he removed the mask
and finally
recognized
that his disguise
was complete

3rd Temperament k

Whispering
was her
favorite way
to quiet me
softly instructing me
to embrace her openness

she taught me
to never question
coming home

3rd Temperament j

In her own
unusual way
she sat
on the whole worlds lap
at once

never making us
too conscious
of one another
or ourselves

3rd temperament i

Before we discovered
the weight of light
everything weighed the same

now our new system
of concurrent reflection
and absorption

disregarding
minor refractions

introduces
the only means
of true weight

3rd Temperament h

As he watched infinity
try to divide itself
by infinity
he realized
it had become one of
the undefined
mathematical expressions
destined to remain
in an indeterminate state
until a more suitable
divisor can be
found
