we grew flowers
in our garden
when I was a kid.

we had tulips
and daffodils and
forget-me-nots.

my friend taught me
how to play the
forget-me-not game.

I'd pull off one petal
and say "he loves me."

I'd pull off the next
and say "he loves me not."

but I learned quickly
that there were only
five petals on every
one of those flowers.

if I started with
"he loves me,"
he would always
love me at the end.

if I started with
"he loves me not,"
he would never
love me at the end.



the other day,
I thought about
those forget-me-nots

and I laughed at how
ironic that is now.

I knew what type
of man you were.

I already knew how
we were going to end,

but I still chose to
play your game.

Ein Bisschen
Un poco
an arbitrary bit of art as intuited.

Did you defy the order of life's proper
sequence, by knowing next begins after
the Hallelujah, right and proper,

that's the stopper.
There, dear reader, we pause and ponder,
as in
Selah.
Right and proper.

A bit off here, a bit from there, pack it into
a classical schema, which
was a word I learned after learning scheme
as the core concept used to form conspiracy,
you see,
if you were, in an immaterial sense, feeling
we are similar,
perhaps we are common, good thought of
as a type of person any mind may make up,
to tell a long and winding story as if it is
this one,
life,
life on earth, 2021.

After the changes, when we remove the masks,
we see others of my kind, mit **** sapience sapience-augmentated,
we be, in a greegri state
seeds of former
things informing
us, subjects  of all we know as good or evil,
good for us, not evil for me, once
enough is realized.

Realizing just enough to manifest a will to make good.
Aye, AI, there we have it.
Make up, test.
You bit, you chew, you bitchew. Life is fun, once,
for a little while.
Seventy or eighty years...
who knows how long our words remain.

schema (n.)plural schemata, 1796, in Kantian philosophy
("a product of the imagination intermediary between an image and a concept"),
from Greek skhema 
"figure, appearance, the nature of a thing,"
related to skhein "to get,"
and ekhein "to have, hold; be in a given state or condition,"
from PIE root *segh- "to hold."
Meaning "diagrammatic representation" is from 1890;
general sense of "hypothetical outline" is by 1939.

From <https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=schema>
Make fun when we find none. Then make sense, to see if it feels
right and proper, like art intent on making peace where only its memory was;
Books on shelves,
Knowledge from someone’s mind,
Ideas, purpose, or reason,
Words from A moment in time,

Many read,
Everywhere, every day,
Very few remembered,
Future generations far away.

Lie’s, fibs, and tale’s,
Leave’s on A windy day,
Truthful visions in words,
Guidance during this earthly stay.

Why in this particular time, is everyone reaching out to me from all over the globe? Do they feel the upcoming show? Do they feel, it's time to let go? To start a new beginning, exploring their options? Remembering the being they met. His energy very prosperous. Effecting them, to the point. Where they have implanted my image to their brain. Coming back to me, asking from the knowledge tree. Never thinking selfishly, only seeking information. Focusing on their hidden desire to have recognition. Seeing there world around them, about to crack and shatter to pieces. They feel this may be the last chance they get, to explore their creativity.

I despise the saying-
‘Ignorance is bliss’
Because it isn’t.

If anything,
They should say-
‘Academics leads to advancement’.

If someone called you ignorant
Would you consider it bliss?

Honestly I’d be
Really dam ******.

Knowledge leads to power
That the wielder controls.

And they know,
How to use it.

Sadly, as a sufferer of academia, a blood disease,
Einstein fails to know what's not in his experiential
knowledge base, pointedly, intellect can't lead for
life doesn't follow, yet, without a proof for my words
they'd ring hollow, also.  Growing in the evolution
teaches that while importance is peachy keen
it's also a projection of a subjective mind, ergo,
it could be just something one's pulled from hind.  

So, according to Al, "imagination is more important
than knowledge", because imagination is infinite
and knowledge is limited, to paraphrase.  Yet,
unfathomably, he didn't discern some truisms to

truths that were glaring, even in his times.  Man's
experiential knowledge is infinite, study Buddha, who
was capable of discerning all his life's acts in all detail,
only blossoming, Jesus, etc..  The use of imagination's
usually by those who don't experience "discipline's the art
of feeling awe", etc., studying to vast degrees, so their
imaginations are more limited to their ability to perceive, etc.,
knowledge outflanks imagination in depth, breadth, paradigm.
All, here's hoping you and yours are well and will continue to be, everyday of this New Year, which will find you being anew all the way through.  Thanx for all you All do.  Intuitive knowledge only grows greater than exponentially, with experiential knowledge's growth; experiential knowledge is basis of all knowledge.  Have an excellent eve'   :)   reality
