Philosophers Have Feelings, Too

Can I borrow
your poem?

I have a photograph
of your sidewalk,
some negatives

of opinion: I owned a camera
once.

We have
Nowhere else to go, but back to our
aerated
desire.

I, again, with Jaspers
questioned other philosophers;
he stands clear. We have nowhere else to go.
Jaspers
elaborated the cane-studded hall,
made precision palatable,
intrigued us with decision,
made 600 B.C.
the room next to the gymnasium.

O Elysium was to come,
inadequate
before the hells of intellect,
with its dying purity.

After fifteen years,
that is, fifteen years after I took
my wedding ring off,
I can still feel it on that finger
when I type.

According to Zeno, they shouldn't.

On some things, P., Zeno was a zero chasing a turtle from point A to point B, half the distance each unit of time, never getting anywhere, unlike you and I, who each seem to have to run twice as fast to stay in the same spot.

Thank you muchly for responding with a philosopher's point of view to the question raised by the title.

I've been wondering, half sarcastically, really your recent posting in friv con, whether maybe you might consider if you're have a nervous breakdown, but I was afraid to voice that concern for fear that you might take me seriously.

If I were you I'd just limit my screen gazing for a little while until you could pinpoint some other possible causes of your malady. I am sorry you are going through this, but I won't pretend to try to doctor you.

Be well,

Peter

No, no, nothing of the kind. It was a 3-5 second thing from completely out of no where. I suspect it may have to do with my cutting back on cigarettes.
