Always Already Again
Or, If Categorical Surrender Is Possible, Is It Desirable?
(A Question Of Existential Epistemics)
The need to know is a need for control.
The need for control is a grasp for power. It’s one of the biggest impediments to intimacy.
To not know together is to love: it’s alive, it’s erotic, it’s tender.
Can you surrender just a bit more to the truth: you don’t know anything.

This tweet at first surprised, now is changing, somehow, me;
this change still taking form, won’t let itself yet show
Recognized it by its playful rearranging how I see
that will have had in me reborn my very need to know.
Very much like this thing they call a craving for control
that the powerless, the mocked, the bullied, still admire:
If a dance is beautiful & joyous, does it stand to make you whole?
If the cause is good & true I for one would willingly conspire.
Wouldn’t you, if you came upon the Lord of Grasping
a chance encounter, or, after hunting night & day;
for all Love that will have last been seen in those hands gasping
you’d murder without second thought, you’d swift delight to slay.
Or not. I used to think the Truth is told from just how Beauty makes it ring
Not always. As you can see, I too am all-too-human, & I know not any thing.
I really like this one. Besides what your saying, as far as the format is one that I've always liked, and use for rock/blues songs. i.e. the first line Rhymes with the third, and the second line rhymes with the fourth. If course not being classically trained I've never set out to do that it's just what sounded right to me. I think that's what they call playing or writing by ear.
