Notes by TK
Kyroot: to :15. Real vs. imaginary = actual reality vs. factual reality. Both are real, true, but with different support systems. There is an operational distinction: is the subject fully functional or is it just talk? Actual reality simply is. Factual reality exists in a way dependent on talk for that existence. It is an impossibility for there to be too much talk in the factual world. Facts cannot be overdone and there is therefore no end to them. What is not talked about disappears. E.g., “good old days”.

The real prize Life has to offer is NOT subsequent to some contest.

This one kid,
damn near old enough to think, thought this,
“It’s certainly a part of City-ways to wanna be liked, especially when one speaks out…do you think this might have any effect on what people say?”

Just to “teach him a lesson”
this one chap forbade himself to say anything he himSELF didn’t understand.

..and Kyroot said:
A loud, authoritatively sounding voice declared,
“What history and fame do not reveal – they conceal.” (And a minor footnote on one world said, “So THAT’S it”!)

…and Kyroot said:
There was this man I’ve never told you about; he had a name so offensive
that whenever his mama called him
someone would take a shot at him. Well, let me level with you;
it was not so much that his name itself was disgusting, but more like what it made people think about when they
heard it. Okay, let me
just tell you what it was and you can figure it all out for yourself, his name was Words.
…(Say, come on now, don’t YOU
take offense.)

Some people’s progress
could be noted as them having gone from
“that which is immoral
to that which is illegal”
while with other groups it would be better measured
as observing that when they would no longer
abide by “that which is illegal”
they moved on to the concept of
“that which is immoral” but,
no matter WHICH way you cut it.

With that near super-human effort it requires
to whine in that ultra-human fashion,
one chaffed chap bemoaned,
“I don’t ask much of life,”
and Life,
lying near by on a chaste, if not virginal lounge,
hearing this cooed,
“Why we’re just going to get along beautifully.”

..and Kyroot said:
The king strode out on his little private balcony,
(you know – the one up there…yeah, right up there), his hands clasped regally behind his royal back, he serenely surveyed his busy people below and remarked,
“Ah, ’tis a comforting – nay, exhilarating sight to see the dumb all in a lump.”
…..(There are those who say that the
“people” have yet to be heard from; there are those whose knowledge of genetic history is quite limited.)

On the rare days when he would not get runnin’ drunk,

and be a general calamity,

As his Monkey Day Graduation Gift
this one ale man gave his kid the following sentence- free and clear, “I am no less impressed with you now than I was originally.”

Becoming – (Huh-rumph!) “geoGRAPHICALLY” disoriented,
this one portable park philosopher
found himself in the City financial district,
and so as to salvage his physical faux pas,
he there went ahead and delivered the day’s message,
which he gave out as,
“Humility is what you make it.”
And upon hearing this
a young up-and-comer passing by
made his into a fancy, ruffled tux shirt
for his expensive sports car.

about kings, gods, partners, states, cities,
street corner philosophers, ole men and their kids
I’ve decided that it’s all pointing in the same direction,
and if you don’t send me at least two hundred and fifty dollars
I’m going to make this discovery public.”

In his passionate, giddy desire to put
the top back on his ball point pen as quickly as possible

he and his kin can explain away everybody’s episode.
