We rarely solve problems in more than one way Even math has opportunity cost When we make choices we collapse universes

Problems are not the issue They all have solution Before we will solve anything The number of variables has to be agreed We make nice models of Hydrogen

Hold your arms out to the side parallel to the ground Your head is now an equals sign the defining quality Now do what you will to one side and do the same to the other This is their power: they will still be equal Shoot one hand in the palm They do not care what you do Nor know what you will learn

Best management practice Important in different context We leave for many reasons Nobody for all of them Takes very little to go To flee takes more To not know which army knock on the door Is to not know which id to put in the bag Or how much lotion for the islands It will cost more there Should cost more here

Mammals are funny There is very good reasons most do not speak They tell so much Happy rats have tell tale tails Especially when they drive cars Seeing something live worth more than a thousand words He would grab proudly his spring  Or another there handy Glance out the fifth floor window And think grand thoughts

Last solar eclipse I was concerned about the clouds Totality came through Cleveland then down the shore It came to me and I understand why people chase New Zealand 2028 does not seem that far Certainly more in space Is anything more precise than eclipse prediction The ancients built upon the boulders in nature Erratics the heretics of geology give away secrets Three percent they probably predicted first Did some one catch a gleam between the leaves The math easier to see I have put these two in a box certain one exists  The animals did not notice at all Been cloudy and rainy all week Three percent transforms in importance If you looked you did see Totality introduced itself to everyone The clouds broke just in time One hundred percent is unmistakable Everywhere you could look There are new approximation of pi to find I have this idea of three from hundred 

I lived on a crossroads in Collinwood Two half circles joined A binary system My angry sister said that I was angry I lived in the past as much as the future Investment on the ground floor We were under-water but still standing Nobody came by that much Fifty one first cousins busy most of the time Those few I remember A crowd tried to wake my mother The entire neighborhood awakened Not like nothing ever happen We gathered mostly with grievences Lived on different planets Up the hill Down the valley Nothing as far as were apart together Picture is worth more words these days More of what we say Who it is we are speaking to In the road house time is relative My high school was an entire lifetime My son's was a blink Every month from the pandemic I would preach Only thing changed I found myself in the corner of the road house Somehow it was now too much We invest at our own risk This was not new to me I would do it again Not what you see as you pass along the road Solving problems sav...

 "The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up. And one of the games to which it is most attached is called "Keep to-morrow dark," and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) "Cheat the Prophet." The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. They then go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun." THE NAPOLEON of NOTTING HILL By GILBERT K. CHESTERTON I long looked very close at other places far from where I come.  The issues presented themselves in different lights.  Not being familiar with something makes it novel.  I have always paid extra attention to no...

I am Silver and exact I have no preconceptions Whatever I see I inhabit immediately As love would have me see or disregard I am cruel and tell lies A capitol letter Deity three sided Miss more than I see I have looked for so long I forget what to  From the head I face the world A torrent that fills the landscape gouged by glaciers Searching my reaches for what he really is He turns and lies the only light source I see him back and despair lost time He rewards them with tears and an absolution stolen She is important to me gone before I would lose her Her face fails to hold the darkness In me she has drown a young boy and in her an old woman She rises toward me day after day like a movie fish

There are fewer surprises This good and bad news Their nature A zany neighbor plugs in each sit-com There are good reasons for this We would fit well into many places Who we are is more about where we are A restaurant under management from below We are as happy as the bottom of the food chain The explanations shorter while the lines grow longer A surprising pattern emerges when we write with specific goals

The people who want easy answers Reject the only thing that has ever given them Gathering dust upon the shelf Love hate relationships with reality never work Even Schrödinger's cat plays by rules Operational security Diversity is what saved the dinosaurs Equity equals sign of the equation Inclusion is just showing up 

I can smell Canada burning across a great lake Two days this climate needs new vocabulary Ten thousand years will make you go soft

For most people it is their heart that will break This is not a design flaw What billions of years created Forty years the goal The heart has its own mind like A climate that needs new vocabulary

The best count of us is now more than 8 billion This is one of the numbers we surely get wrong There are some very difficult numbers What defines an environmental collapse Where does ecology need to degrade to When will people do better The heart is usually what breaks This organ is made to make  There is the forever in the plan What we are building is infinity Where else would you place the foundation When we miss we create chaos At what point is it of concern Seems we saved the right whales for climate to kill Their name tells you everything about them The whalers called them right whales They were the easy money they wanted All those types out swimming in the sea Their type a whole population I swim the cold Atlantic Whole populations I fall for Right people float in place Easy

 I never get through July

I have never loved every number equally Didn't learn that from anyone There is a context to each of us Downstream of an absurd amount of capital formation Those in charge would have lost long ago Thermodynamics dance The titanic in the end found little use for a captain

Selection is at play Infectious the strategy Money is one a great idea Has brought us all here today Tomorrow should  not Survival of old ideas is not  The mechanism is the thing Selection as work Rational public policy excites few

If you had billions of dollars where would you get married Mars comes to mind as people die in Africa Someone died in New York as well hot and bothered They used to think there were perfect numbers You can always count on them They bring messages from very far away There is one unit of cultural information Green backed Would you have a billion people at your wedding? The garden can feel large When you have billions of dollars they start to grow on trees A trillion dollars counted is a problem What value you bring to the day Is culture and genetic How we hold value is not

Let's be realistic, let's demand the impossible, always until victory - Commander Che Guevara Most of the bar didn't know what sport was on the television Next to me a guy said he was out when they stole those goals Offside is a finite thing Not one to argue When you score a goal a man down Destiny has spoken in my mind Across the Rio Grande  Across the lazy river Bit of a Colombia fan anyways Newspaper rocks galore When don't I need to explain that?

Everyone said she was the best teacher Maybe what she taught people didn't think was work We were a terrible class We could do nothing just arrived without a clue Gen X was not a new term Economic and cultural neglect old as people We learned throwing scarves in the air that lingered The physics was never questioned Utilitarian teaching tool We defy gravity all the time Our Senior year we lost everything we were supposed to win Defined by our lack of observers We secretly sold weapons to Iranians then Cause congress would not pay for war in central America We were not the focus that much we knew I learned to juggle my Freshman year Practiced a play all year we never preformed Was not mine or the teacher's fault
