blue light

Hi Don

Your response interests me. (What follows is NOT a trick question - one f****** lives haiku! And your comments are always valuable.)

INTIMATE CONFESSION OF A LENTIL EATER

Normally (shoot me down for this like a rabid dog chasing its tail down the road on a windy day in autumn) I rite straight from the hip. Then 'polish' it from the point of view of an imaginary audience's plain understanding. Then, intuit its completion from words to visualisation. Then, walk away. Rarely do I question its formal presentation, nor contemplate its deeper meanings once the blue light shines at the station. (Unless the spirit moves me, down the years.) If its grokked (not in its fullness, even), then that'll do.

Having said that, what interests YOU, referencing your response below? Of course the formal aspects. But, what about the meanings that animate the Noh theatre of your ma, in the gap there, betwixt stimulus and response?

I'm all ears. . . .
