The Code of Modern Western Civilization in 13 verses

 

The original mind

always prefers solitude

            from anything

that rakes of ego,

           

            and although

it is never setting,

the egos, its spun-off satellites,

admire what appears

like its change

and dying—all its many

                                                sunsets, nights—

for they seem to put them

 

solely in charge.
