'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.
