FINE MAN
when you deliver
on the subject
pretty soon find myself
delving down into subtext
subatomic
constructing the code
that lets me
read between the lines
need to do this
because regardless of
anomaly, overlooking
essential paradox
need to
emerge from
this astute
I want to be
a better man
not just an atom better
no, indeed, a fine man,
a
better
man by far
like Richard, without
his love
of lovers,
one who can
call the tune, fix
the rhythm of the Universe
tapping his bongos, sometimes
covering the page with
astounding hieroglyphs
prattling away
finding his way
into the
heart of
the labyrinth
source of the problem
pattern suddenly grasped, and
gist of everything
want to see
how it all interfaces
where
the imagination?
look at this diagram
carved into his desk, by
our
science
shaman
now
visualized in tiles
on the Cal-Tec floor
