Opening remarks: a credo, i'll claim it if you like it

Mark Helprin said that complex men exact their magnanimity by the simplest means. I only have simple means, and maybe they will grow into bug-luscious blossoms of enchanting magnanimity. Here is a wonderful poem by the great Christian poet Tyler Blanski:

Kiss a girl;

Spin the world;

Watch squirrels. 

One of My Favorites

since feeling is first

who pays any attention

to the syntax of things

will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool

while spring is in the world

my blood approves,

and kisses are a better fate

than wisdom

lady i swear by all flowers. don't cry

—the best gesture of my brain is less than

your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then

laugh, leaning back in my arms

for life's not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis

–E.E. Cummings
