AESTHETICS OF BEING A SAILBOAT Go this way and that Have a reflection Be upside down AESTHETICS OF PLATO There has to be something better Than what we see. Otherwise, we'd see it. AESTHETICS OF SURREALISM To find the impossible With breasts. AESTHETICS OF CERTAIN THINGS Certain people for certain things. Certain women for certain things. Certain men for certain things. Certain occasions for certain things. Certain lives for certain things. AESTHETICS OF SILENCE Silence is not everything. It is half of everything Like a house. AESTHETICS OF THE MAIN PART OF LIFE The late early and the entire middle Are the main part of life. Be as kind As you can in this part, and get done What it seems to you has to be done. If you find time for it, have a good time. AESTHETICS OF BEING GLORIOUS To be glorious, take off your wings Before you fly. AESTHETICS OF STONE The gods take stone And turn it into men and women; Men and women take gods And turn them into stone. |
