"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Accomplished.


21

Just like today eternity is accomplished
in seconds.  I read that Old Nieh
in the wilderness vastness trained a mountain
tiger to carry his firewood.  A black hole the size
of 300 billion sunsis gobbing up the M87
galaxy because astronomers gave it a boring name.
Time passed in sitting begs mercy from the clock.
