Human Sublime
the most important instrumental benefits
require sustained involvement in the arts
long lyrical lines beats repeated for hours
day after day opera paintings around us
all the time itself becomes music dreams
illusion of dramatic structure in our lives
requires art belief everything in its service
used to benefit other than the artist it is
not art advertising preaching persuading
glamorizing decorating used for anything
save delight illumination another useful
tool it is the human sublime purposeless
play immediate being time's apotheosis
activated sense mind realized attention
rain came
lights blew out
computer forgot two words
I remembered
directed
calendar full
enough sensations actions
learn seasons
not life
not chocolate
but chocolate always helps
