Intellect distinguishes between the possible and the impossible reason distinguishes between the sensible and the senseless. Even the possible can be senseless.

Intellect distinguishes between the possible and the impossible; reason distinguishes between the sensible and the senseless. Even the possible can be senseless.
Given that we glimpse what distinguishes man from the beast, is there anything that distinguishes woman from man?

A Long Dress
That is the current that makes machinery,
that makes it crackle,
what is the current that presents a long line and a necessary waist.
What is this current.
What is the wind, what is it.
Where is the serene length,
it is there and a dark place is not a dark place,
only a white and red are black, only a yellow and green are blue,
a pink is scarlet, a bow is every color. A line distinguishes it.
A line just distinguishes it.

Senseless?
senselessly
make sense by being senseless at times
we all need that
to realize we are not what we are after all
we too are what we are for what we are not
senseless and
numb
senselessly why worry about sense at all?
bipolarity
flesh and spirit
mind and matter
brain and brass
don't you worry
take some beer and smoke
watch what happens to the world
in conflagration
of senseless thoughts
loafing is the work of another genius
when the mind simply drifts like a butterfly
on a windless day
shopping for petals in the garden
of no-man's land

Domination: The Ecstatic Paradox
impossible to rein the intense gripping
to break all the ribs till to make bend
bowing down to touch the soul of dominant paws
impossible to leave the bushy tunnel
to mould it raptured till the boneless mud
fleshy rampart turns into slithery slumber
growling wears senseless surrender
to make all other choices to sleep in the grave
virtually begins begging to fuel empowerment
time stands to embrace storm
to charge the tremendous volanic ditch
to wrap to reap to pile up original depth of ritz
pleasure melts to ecstasy
pain melts to senseless nothingness
nothingness tranforms into deathless proximity

The Deadly Game
Killing, killing
'cause men are willing
to follow in ways of the past.
Why? Why?
Why let it last
into the future
and beyond?
Thinking, thinking
thoughts that are sinking
into the depths of hell
Why? , Why?
Why let the bell toll for the dead?
Those that can't respond.
Senseless, senseless,
most are defenseless
to rise up
and say, 'No more.'
Why? Why?
Why must there
always be war?
Because we have been conned.

I think there's one thing which distinguishes our art - we don't consider. We don't think. We write a little verse because it comes to us.

Nobel was a genuine friend of peace. He even went so far as to believe that he had invented a tool of destruction, dynamite, which would make war so senseless that it would become impossible. He was wrong.
