Bind men together, “We must dig ever deeper in our study” — do not want to “DIG”, however,

First man still says:
“Nope.”
So the second man ventures:
“Okay — the present tense?!”

The neurally crude even long for mental sustenance;

What you’ll say NEXT time!

Standing out alone,
On the edge of a high grassy cliff,
Overlooking both the restless sea and the peaceful city,
One man cried out to himself and the sky:

A continuum —
I am an unfinished work of art, forever ‘in-progress’ — Oh,

After knocking back several tail glasses of a nice, young domestic Chardonnay,
He turned to his dog and said: “I am Hubert — hear me roar.”

Came to a point finally of considering the remaining aspects of his day-to-day existence
In this manner — (considered he):
“Instead of an ordinary, ‘personal life’ perhaps I begin to prefer simply the
Company of other real thinkers & livers.”

Another great thing about non-standard, personalized thinking is that

And full-versions count for no more than condensed ones,
And only the thinker himself has ANY idea of just what the hell he is doing!
(which is all that’s necessary.)
93050-55
