BOTTOM LINE

A Constantness of the world is not found by the rigid of heart. It is the heart that must be moved to add peace to the mind.

BOTTOM LINE

....a big place the universe must be
as long as a closed line and as odd as all the infinite numbers
in a pi.
The worlds'-a screwey incongruency-
fills my mind
-sometimes she says yes, the other no
The wind blew her in and last time she walked
the first time I tried, the last time I lied

Mathematically it is a straight lieing cheat named god
In a straight line it is crooked.
In a crooks eye it is always straight.
I must have been dreaming with my badluck no
matter how I looked :
was wide awake when I look to win
cant add up losing

There is no difference whether you travel
fast or slow so why go at all
Just as well I stood under a tree ,
what could have passed me by if I didnt go anywhere.
At least I'd been standing here .

If I had been a rich cynical satirist who complained I was really "sitting" rather than standing,
I"d moved, made a lot of money and would be richer in a grave somewhere else after having gone somewhere
...If so,then a standup comic always be buried poor
a sitting Bull always die rich.

But thats what they all say,
sitting or standing,
when the bottom line reaches the top of the page
