Seals live on white lies, Yen. Slippery tongues obfuscate The truth and lie in all hues Pure truth absent hue Lie enfolds germ - tainted truth Waves pound shore, cleanse truth. Truth's diamond never corrodes But refracts to each their hue. Flood cedes, growth anew Diamond of truth commands view Wisdom pores, like dew. Dewdrops catch morn’s light - reflects And grows a new sun’s image Deep within earth's bosom life Begins. Joy! Sunrise! What urge, beauty? Seed divine. Green shoots break through the black earth: Fibrous flags of green, still furled. Beauty is truth. Truth Beauty. That is all ye know. All ye need to know.

Many years ago I worked with a guy who spent a lot of money at auctions, and he used his MasterCard to pay for a Greek funerary urn, and I got his mother to find the receipt, which I had framed with the title "Owed on a Grecian Urn." Sometimes it's thankless being a punster but someone has to do it. Even if you have to eat pottery de foie gras! Really. I'm china quit. That was a fiesta resistance.
