The poet cries out. "The world
is open again; the world is open again."
Defined by pernicious conflict the spirit of
the world burned a useless cold, addicted
to tensions, chasing imagination into
terrible zones. What is the threshold of
something starting but the attributes in full
play?
Would that be abstract to our sorrows,
the poet says, would you become infinite in
delight again?
And in delight are new stories. And happiness
for the man who conceives at the depth
and circumference of his imagining self.
New world that seeks out life on other
planets.
New world that views itself as a
sustainable value.
New world that drives the freeway in
electric cars.
New world that brings new power to
account.
New world in love with the particular.
