He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff’s talus on the other side,
And then in the far distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush–and that was all.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

Gov. Wayne Abbott? ABC News should get the Texas governor’s name right. Makes you wonder what other details of the story may have been misreported.
Yeeks.
And what holds the republic together? It for damned sure is not the courts, DA, or cops; those have eroded into minions doing the bidding of whomever is in charge. It is people living under the voluntary agreement to behave in one’s own self-interest and at the same time not harm others. The “self-interest” part often includes egalitarian, charitable, and generous acts; neighborly behavior that doesn’t intrude on anyone’s privacy. You know, the Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Make Room for Daddy kind of stuff. The exact subjects your prog English teacher in high school sneered at.
“You can’t be here without authorization” and “Lemme see some ID” and “Where are you going?” is a direct line to “Some are more equal than others”. As I’ve oftenrepeated: it’s a small club and you ain’t in it brother.
This shit is getting far too commonplace and my confidence in the near and far future is too shaky for my comfort.
“Makes you wonder what other details of the story may have been misreported.”
Bunny, the report did refer to “armed rifles”, which sounds as scary as “armed grenades” and “armed torpedos”.

@ Jimmy. I watched it this morning. MUST SEE!
JWM
My state, Alaska, has a no guns in banks or bars law, generally interpreted to mean inside the premises, not outside in the parking lots.
I’ll have to check the wording to see if they can stretch it because if they can, sooner or later they will. For example our DUI laws; cops have told me, why yes they can go on to private property and arrest someone mowing their lawn with a riding mower with a can of beer for driving a motor vehicle under the influence.
