Within the first day, were available, light and hegemony.

Hegemony danced, power in harness, and other interesting variations, for the stiff at heart. Later, the marked beguiling body entertained alone, the pillow surface black. She was all a bit lucky...

Evidence is money. Example: Here is a nicely tended orchard. How fortuitous! No one bothers to learn. All objects are smooth - rivers flow out of it - the wheel churning discharge. Broke eventually, a something ablaze used to transform psyches...

Encumbrances of terror and age. Sick of each object. Sleep refused... I caught this here, the shaking, the twilight sky strangeness...

Urge and I have to question, serenading. The long night is a house whose sufferers are large, eyes shut to see up through the earth. Perception is bigger, fastening understanding towards artlessness, capability in ostentatious jiffies; submission; touching without emotion.

As Alexander approached
Eden, an old man was pursued
into a steep defile
by an advance party.

They at once detained him
as an enemy combatant,
but the greybeard signalled
weakly, and they stopped.

"Go tell Sir Alexander,"
said the man of years,
"that he seeks paradise in vain;
his striving is all futile,

for the highway
to paradise
is a lowly course, a course
he does not know.

Take you this stone,
give it to Alexander, saying,
'This stone sums
your worth.'"

Now the stone
was of inestimable value
and of excessive weight,
very paramount of gems,

but spun to dust
was as a wisp of hay,
and of less worth.
By which sign

the venerable
represented
Alexander living
king of kings,

Alexander zero dead.
