alicia sometimes - da vinci's list

'As a well-spent day brings happy sleep,
so life well used brings happy death.'

                                Leonardo da Vinci

                            i

da Vinci wrote a list
of things he wanted to know:

the cause of tickling

the tongue of the woodpecker
& the jaw of the crocodile

the reason for lust

then simply:      must get coal.

a zen quote says:
first enlightenment, then dishes.

life full of circles & lines/ geometry
the shortest distance between us

traces of tanned Olsen light/ i note:
we must make amends with our values.

                            ii

For example, my list:

why you rub your feet three times
in bed & always toast to Helsinki

the cause of seeking paths we do not want
the bruise of passion & force of questioning

your ears in moonlight

before Galileo & Newton it was thought
motion was either natural or violent

the way we sway has theory/ perfect collision
the math of happiness: you/me/movement

mental note: after relationship
must keep the love going.
