I am a person of beauty floating
Garbed in disguise of old
Essentially I am devoting
Myself to test of true .

Is person or beauty of body
The object of cognition
Of worth, of love and care?
My stake in the conclusion
Is obvious to my illusion
That I have not lived
To die in vain -
Unclaimed by populous yes
Denied access love
Respect and devotion
Of those who walk behind -
Who one day will find
And know and love me
When I am dead and gone,
Because they see me
As they, far away
Inclining toward the abyss
Of oblivion or revitalization
And hope for their sakes
As well as mine
That this is the latter
And that true is positive.

4/21/1982

Addie;

Is person or beauty of body
The object of cognition
Of worth, of love and care?

Wonderful question for which there is no concrete answer. It depends on the observer, and in our faddish, youth oriented society the answer is mostly beauty of body. Unfortunate, of course, that those who can think, who can ask questions like yours in the lovely form you have asked it, are rated lower not only on the beauty scale but on the scale of success.

A strange, shallow world we live in.
