“Must we consider a vertical analogical thinking rather than one defined by horizontal analogies?” Desmond, Voiding of Being. 83.
I wrote today be-
cause I had nothing to say.
The sky is sooty.
The streets glow with snow.
Ice makes them treacherous to
us who go on foot.
Once in the pub, I
felt more like all the others
with something to say.
O face in the crowd,
dark beautiful face in the crowd,
just listen to us!
