"The motion of the earth alone, therefore, suffices to explain so many apparent inequalities in the heavens."

I am kind, easy going, bright, introspective, fit, hedonistic, and not altogether certain about the true nature of reality. I study evolution, teach, run, work out. I'm looking forward to skiing. I am open to unusual or ordinary friendships, without or with physical intimacy, but certainly without ownership.

Now mind is clear
as a cloudless sky.
Time then to make a
home in wilderness.

What have I done but
wander with my eyes
in the trees? So I
will build: wife,
family, and seek
for neighbors.

Or I
perish of lonesomeness
or want of food or
lightning or the bear
(must tame the hart
and wear the bear).

And maybe make an image
of my wandering, a little
image—shrine by the
roadside to signify
to traveler that I live
here in the wilderness
awake and at home.
