Hi, where have you been?

Out in the Gutter of Hate.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Like it?

No.

They why do it?

Beats me.

No it doesn’t.

Yes. It doesn’t. sigh

So.

So…I love you.

I know that. But that’s no answer…So.

I hate the enterprise of Resolution. I want it to flow from the heart. Without the externalities of programming.

Mm. Now you are talking. And?

Nothing. Just that.

smile hug You don’t have to stay away even if you are out visiting the gutter you know.

I know. But I don’t like the way I smell. Too much self sabotage and when I look into your eyes I can see my true self reflected in the mirror of your acceptance of me. Warts and all.

dryly gently Mirrors lie you know.

smile Maybe. Maybe not.

Why don’t you just accept it and get on with life.

Accept hate? The only thing that is acceptable is to hate Hate. You know?

Mm.

I try to look at you but

My eyes fall short

 

I try to look up at your glory

But I can’t raise my eyes

Beyond the shadows

Of your being

 

Hot tears gush

Longing thwarted

 

Yeah

We worked the

Quality mines

Got the labels all right

Stood dumb struck

At the beauty of it

Wanted to weep and scream

For joy

Wanted to tell the world

This is it! 

This is what we’ve been looking for…

Wanted to invite everyone

To the eternal party

 

But it aint all there now

Init?

 

It maybe it’s a lost quest

For me

It maybe that I will always be

Trapped in a MTV sun

 

I can hear my dream churners chug

Never give up

Ever

 

I can hear the motivational positivists

Spout

Their line of inspire pumps

 

I’ve heard it all

Been there

Done it all

 

But you

Oh you!

 

**********

 

The ripple from your smile

Cascades over

My bowed head

 

And I can read your answer in the shifting sand piles that ply the ocean shore

And amongst the quiet of the waves

Crashing

I find my peace

Thank you

The Metaphysics of Quality, or MOQ, is simply a philosophic answer to the question of what is Quality, or worth, or merit, or value, or betterness or any of the other synonyms for good. There are many possible answers but the one the MOQ gives is that you can understand Quality best if you don't subordinate it to anything else but instead subordinate everything else to it.

It says there are two basic kinds of Quality, an undefined Quality called Dynamic Quality, and a defined quality called static quality. Static quality is further divided into four evolutionary divisions: inorganic, biological, social and intellectual. Our entire understanding of the world can be organized within this framework. When you do so things fall into place that were poorly defined before, and new things appear that were concealed under previous frameworks of understanding. The MOQ is not intended to deny previous modes of understanding as much as to expand them into a more inclusive picture of what it's all about.

I am your dream

I long

To be

Let out

Of the

Backyard

Of your

Mind

 

I have

Watched you

As you

Tried to explain

To your

Friends and loved ones and enemies

What I am

 

You have wept

At their

Uncomprehending

Smile

And your

Inarticulateness of expression

 

That you love me

There is no doubt

That you hate lies

There is no doubt

I am your dream
