I long for people—
then again I loathe them:
end of autumn.

Chogo (d. 1806)

Chogo was, in at least one aspect, my soulmate.

I believe I may be the first person in the history of humanity to state the:

Law of Multiplication of Jerks

Jerkitude behaves like a wave. The superposition of two jerkitudes can lead to a relatively large selective response, a phenomenon otherwise know as "resonance"

Let me know if you have a problem with this.

Alan W. Watts writes in "The Way of Zen":

"In poetry the empty space is the surrounding silence which a two-line poem requires — a silence of the mind in which one does not "think about" the poem but actually feels the sensation which it evokes — all the more powerful for having so little said."

Keizuke Serizawa (May 13, 1895 – April 5, 1984) was a Japanese textile artist whose work was a beautiful blend of traditional and modern.

He also made illustrations of Don Quijote de la Mancha as a ronin, including the famous scene of Don Quijote tilting at mills—in this case a water mill.

It lights up
as lightly as it fades:
a firefly.

Chine (d. 1688)

This poem was composed by her brother when Chine passed away. She was 28 years old.

SOME REASONS WHY MOST ORPHANS DO NOT WIN AS HARD AS TRUMP.

Their fault for not having a brothel-owning grandfather.

Their fault for not pulling themselves up by their daddy's bootstraps.

Their fault for not fucking every single contractor they met in their lives.

Their fault for not being terrible with money.

Their fault for not having serial bankruptcies.

Their fault for going bald with dignity.

Their fault for not marrying and divorcing models.

Their fault for not getting pissed on.

I raise the mirror of my life
Up to my face: sixty years.
With a swing I smash the reflection—
The world as usual
All in its place.

This is a wonderful passage in Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD

An official of the Ming empire reported that the Buddhists in his province had shown great zeal for building bridges. This was a public venture of which any traditional Chinese gentleman was bound to approve.

Winter not quite here
The remnants of Fall remain:
Sound of rustling leaves.

Damn.

I just discovered that the awful David Cameron replaced the ghastly Suella Braverman as Home Sec.

What is it with the Tories that they recycle the same 10 or 15 abysmal people for every important role in HM government?

Are these horrible people truly the best that England has to offer?

うらやまし
思ひ切る時
猫の恋

It’s cause for envy
the moment of surrender
when cats fall in love.

The blossoming as well
