### - ahahahahaha (cracking up laffing @...)

"And that's really not acceptable."

lol... :)))

the dudes a poet maan... leave him alone if ya's don't understand it?  
(still laffing...)

like, there's old dylan thomas going-on about: "and death shall have no  
dominion..." etc etc

and jeremy pipes up: "...that's really not acceptable." - ahahaha! :)))

poets are 'fascinated' with death! maybe because they're not so afraid to  
look at it? and/or stand trembling in their pants when they do?

and a dying world 'is' a dying world, even when it's reborn in every  
moment too?

how he 'chooses' to relate to (and relate) all that is his business and  
his business alone (often very alone...) our business being to try and  
understand it, to thus 'borrow' his view and maybe see what he's  
saying/suggesting and be inspired thereby...

and no, it's NOT rational! poetry isn't rational nor logical, and yet it  
can still make sense!

a sense that can't then BE rendered into cogent rational/definitive terms;  
being precisely what 'makes' it poetry!

and because it's also... true/correct ;)

### - went to one of his temples once purely by accident while looking for  
some other temple lol (a friend of mine was looking for a local thai  
buddhist temple and, after getting lost in the area and then asking for  
directions from a local indian guy we stopped in the street, ended up at  
this sai-temple instead haha, his one! + first had ever heard of him!)

haha, suddenly finding ourselves ushered into this strange temple and  
realising we didn't belong there, we thought it prudent to at least behave  
ourselves for 5-minutes and have a look around + see what's  
happening/going-on there etc... and it was rather weird to say the least...

it was just a little hall decked out with religious pictures of a hindu  
nature, typical flowers, mats & cushions on and around the floor etc + we  
were apparently the only 2 people in there at that time of the day,  
pictures & photos of this sai-baba dude in various places around the room;  
a little shrine! and at one end a small dais with a golden chair  
surrounded by rice and flower offerings in bowls kinda thing, all nice  
enough... although there was also something very strange about the area  
where that chair was, it wasn't anything you could see, there was nothing  
there only a chair and stuff like where maybe he'd visited once and also  
sat, but there was 'something' there you could actually... feel? an  
intense feeling in the stomach area when approaching said little stage,  
one that immediately faded as you moved away from it, a tangible  
sensation! my friend noticed it too and we repeated the effect many times  
while wondering wtf it was, very strange actually...




> And truly, you sometimes speak as grandly as any "God" might.

### - heh ;)

And death shall have no dominion.

Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;

Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;

Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan’t crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;

Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

"...that's really not acceptable.":) lol...

heh...

poets are people too even if they 'do' have a completely different pov :)
