VII. The Final Movement
Oh, World; Oh, World’s come
before me in
life’s hid
eous gallan try. As I might
suppose, there is a cruel
intent to your act: you stage
myself as yours alone
when truth pronounce lie.
But, with what cause can I defeat
all the world? For
I must get
my courage,
it is on the other
side of the world. Hand,
then in hand in tire break, it
shatters.
The eggs I toss
shatter on the cat’s face-off

Dandelions, with actual lions.
Do you think that rather funny? I know I do!
Such is the way of the world, where such, not necessarily binaries co-reside, but rather, by
happenstance, such unseemingly independences form pairs. I would like to think someone,
who named the dandelions, never actually saw a lion, and someone, who named the lion,
never actually saw the dandelions, and those two placed with the prestigious position of
taxonomy were equally drawn to that sound, as if there is some distinct quality in the very
musicality of it that even the most steadfast of scientific rigor falls susceptible to such delights.
