"optimise" poems
Are we all
suffering?
Some of us suffering more?
Some of us suffering less?
Does being kind
to suffering
reduce the suffering
and increase happiness?
Yes it does.
Am I happier
when I am suffering less?
Yes.
Therefore,
to optimise my joy and happiness
should I be kind
to my suffering?
Yes I should.
Am I happier
when others around me
are suffering less
and are more happy?
Yes I am.
Therefore,
should I be kind
to other people's suffering
to make them happier?
Yes I should.
To optimise our joy and happiness
should we be kind
to each other’s
suffering?
In a joy-and-happiness-society
would every person
be kind
to every other person’s
suffering?

When I feel sick,
I don’t understand
all the complex details
of medical-science,
so I have to trust a doctor
to cure me;
but I trust with trepidation
because doctors are human
and so unomniscient and fallible;
I do my best
to apprise myself
of the medical-science
about my health-condition
so I do not have to blindly-rely
on the doctor,
and so I can make wise choices
about my healthcare
to optimise my health, joy and happiness.

I’d be trapped in the ethereal net of your Charm,
neither here nor there, kidnapped,
lost – or technically dis-located,
entangled in your deftly woven labyrinth
of passion and desire.
You’d encode the script for my every move in a
binary language I can only see but not read,
you’d graph the imagery I see in my mind-
short films of you and me and just you,
you’d lay out the days of my life with you
like pages of a book neatly bookmarked,
you’d optimise the color of my emotions-
between deadly sorrow and maddening joy,
you’d make me interesting to read-
like a woman of substance,
you’d come back to tune my background music
everytime I think you’re gone forever,
you’d keep me outside those search engines,
yet I’d get a 1000 hits a day
for you’d be my sole visitor.
I’d be kidnapped, and trapped by you,
I might break down any moment,
yet I’d resist for my love for you.
For **you'd be... my WEB-designer**.

We know the importance of sleep for our health and appearance. But when it comes to getting at least eight hours of quality sleep, this is easier said than done. You could be tempted to watch that late night movie, or read one last chapter in that book.
For many of us, the goal of sleeping at 9 or 10pm may appear elusive. Many sleep at a decent hour but suffer from bouts of insomnia.
It pays to learn how to sleep. Ever wondered why babies and children have such beautiful skin? Research shows skin cell regeneration doubles at night and peaks between 11pm and 4am. Sleep deprivation leads to inflammation and oxidative stress which contributes to aging.
Here are some tips on how to sleep better:
1. Control your exposure to light
To maintain a good sleep-wake cycle, expose yourself to natural light during the day, and complete darkness when you go to sleep. If you work indoors, try to get at least half an hour of sunlight during the day. Let as much natural light into your workspace or home as possible.
At night, avoid bright screens within two hours of your bedtime. Switch off all lights, wifi, and electronics in your bedroom. Rather than using the television to wind down, read a book or listen to an audio recording.
Invest in dark-out curtains to ensure the room is completely dark. If you wake up during the night and need to move around, use a dim light.
2. Maintain a regular sleep schedule
Sleeping and waking up at the same time each day, helps to optimise the quality of your sleep. If you need to make up for a sleep debt, take a nap during the day, rather than sleeping in past your usual wake-up time. Once you’re getting enough sleep, you won’t need an alarm clock to wake you in the morning.
3. Watch what you eat and drink
Caffeine can cause sleep problems therefore try to avoid coffee, chocolate, and tea after lunch. A nightcap may help you fall asleep. However, it interferes with your sleep cycle by waking you up in the middle of the night.

Better to be taciturn
Than babble through a tacky turn
And fail to hear enough to learn
In common conversation
Others may proclaim you shy
Or timid, mousy, terrified
Resist the urge to justify
Your ramble regulation
It doesn’t make you weak or mute
To take a minute to compute
A thought before you contribute
May optimise your speaking
Pause won’t hurt your cause unless
Your words are just a game of chess
To press, suppress, or to impress
Correcting or critiquing
Do you desire a partnership?
A sharing, caring, airing?
Or more of a dictator-grip?
A snaring, scaring, blaring?
Maybe you are silence-scared
Uncomfortable with empty air
And feel it is your job to bare
The sound continuation
Worry not my helpful friend
Your heavy duty at an end
More useful with an ear to lend
Look kind toward the taciturn
You may yet find a lot to learn
With still consideration

Staring straight through vivid light
Tangential lines of torrid blue,
Mesmerizing, vivid light
To magnify horizon's hue.
A blaze of pinprick turquoise
Starkly circumscribes the mind
To focus cerebellum's link,
To clearly optimise the find.
Suspended in the nether zone
Floating deep within the air,
Rendered incognito now
As aqua showers rinse the hair.
Beautious recognition here
Of vastness laid before,
In the depth of thought potential
Lying at perception's door.

Do we need to forbear (abstain)
from doing particular activities
to optimise our joy and happiness?
For example:
Do we need to forbear
from overeating
to prevent obesity and diabetes
and optimise our health, joy and happiness?
Do we need to forbear
from overindulging in alcohol
to prevent brain-damage and liver-damage
and optimise our health, joy and happiness?
What other activities
should we forbear from
to optimise our joy and happiness?

Joy-and-happiness-people
are people
who live striving to
optimise their own joy and happiness
and facilitate optimal joy and happiness
for others.
Interacting with
joy-and-happiness-people
increases
my joy and happiness.
I seek
joy-and-happiness-people
to be friends with,
to work with,
to romance,
to do everything with
in joyful-and-happy society.

I, the Capital
My Capital
Coveted n’ captivating
Swimming thru’
Simmering veins
I, the ego in me
Inherited long ago
Governs as I go
Elevates my pride n’ pleasure
And caps my prudence often
My eye on ‘I’
Tries to hold good
What I mean or measure
All I need is
To keep it in check
Like I do, to optimise
My sugar in sweet;
Otherwise fatal

I want a cigarette
but I need to stop smoking
to improve my health
and optimise my joy and happiness.

Realise your own self
Analyse your own self
Intuit your own self
Narrate to your own self
Back up your own self
Optimise your own self
Wage to your own self
Always be a RAINBOW !

there's an inherent dread
for small keyboards -
namely moving to a size
lenovo -
i'm quiet beyond staring
at a keyboard as i type,
i'm usually a chopin freak
when looking at a screen,
compared to my local doctor
crow pecking index-index
letter-by-letter ******** -
the problem?
the problem with a small keyboard?
the A & S keys,
and the interaction between the
pinky & ring finger of the left hand...
that **** is a ******* minefield...
no, a smaller laptop does not
help, i have fingers the size
of an orc -
every time i tap
the A button i, by "accident"
tap the S button...
yes, nice nice,
optimise the free space with
bonsai equipment -
make them for little people,
fuck's sake!
i'm 6ft1, 115kg,
(don't know why i cite height
in imperial, and the weight in french) -
my hands can clasp a basketball
with one by each hand...
**** A & S is annoyingly tickling
my ring / pinky reflex to type...
i know that the chinese
love to say: small is beautiful...
not with these lumberjack hands...
its not pretty, it's imitation dyslexia!
**** small, give me what's correlative,
nay, just **** proportionate!
