my anthropologist friend
from the Big Apple writes:
"Demonstration of the surpassing of human limitations
is a matter of fact. It is not a matter of debate."
"I don't know Thai
and you don't know me."
I write back;
there is no window through these
perceptions that manifests the intelligence
of a universe
I've already made the coffee strong,
while you are sleeping, my love,
just like you like it,
creative design is not an evolutionary idea for some,
God didn't make little green apples
that fell to earth,
but as long as there's a Matisse or a Michelangelo
I know that god still wears many masks
stilettos, baseball caps and lipstick too,
roots
for the home team, it's just
that some of us are trying to super-size them to fit our egos
and some of us deny that life is a burden too heavy to
carry alone.

Dear Anna,
A wise woman wrote these lines:
for the home team, it's just
that some of us are trying to super-size them to fit our egos
and some of us deny that life is a burden too heavy to
carry alone.
always, Cat
I kinda like those lines too.
I kinda like those lines too. The poem evolved out of an on-going argument Barry & I have.

Big thank you for reading, Cat.

hmmm, not sure where the nod is
perhaps
"that some of us are trying to super-size them to fit our egos
and some of us deny that life is a burden too heavy to
carry alone."
Well, won't cop to that.
I live
I die
No supernatural support needed.
Just intelligence and integrity to ensure survival.
The last thing I was talking
The last thing I was talking about in this poem was the *supernatural*.... have you every experienced that pervasive and all inclusive one-ness, Jess? In that feeling/understanding/experience we realize that we want want another if not need.... and as societal creatures, we need each other. Though the marketplace it seems would separate the human need for interaction and
compassion with the untoward abrogation of need with want....more is not more in this case.

of course
you know that.
But I never underestimate your complexity.
