The Striving

1. Kant at work

A priori:
no empirical evidence exists.
Ding an sich:
crease visible between her tits.
See him passing by?
Set your watch.

2. No Plato

Is purity over? Where are
the forms?
Every shorter thing seems long.
Beauty’s
nobody’s business if you ask
why curves have need of edges.

3. Heraclitean

Never step in the same storm
twice.
There will be ample water to fill
shores inland.
All falling fish swam upstream
before the invention of weirs.
