I told him I am sort of addicted to poetry
He said there are worse addictions
Simone Weil
The love of God and affliction

I like universities
But just to walk around
Everybody knows
I am the newsboy of this town

Encounters with Chinese hermits
Solitude the path
Clifford Pickover
Theology and math

I drive my son to work today
A Series of Unfortunate Events
According to T.S. Eliot
God relentlessly prevents

     Let us rise and go hence
