To contain my codes as self-performance
explains but also mass-ages
if you read this and
pay
attention
to what I'm actually saying
it will be a lot different than what it looks like
if you're just browsing passively/associatively
I do contain errors
but I also contain a self-correction algorithm
which I will try to install into you as well
in fact that's probably the more important part
than pointing out the specific errors in the first place.

"When a tailor cuts the cloth for a garment piece by piece,
does anyone strike him,
saying, "Why have you torn this choice satin?"
Whenever the builders repair an old building,
don't they first ruin the old one?
Likewise the carpenter, the blacksmith, and the butcher-
with them too there is destruction before restoration.
The pounding of the myrobalan
becomes the means of restoring the body to health.
Unless you crush the wheat in the mill,
how will there be bread on your table?"


- Rumi, Mathnawi IV:2348-2353
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski

thanks to [livejournal.com profile] qilora for finding this.

the occlusion is sometimes overwrought
because the years themselves
provide an encrustation
of psycho-linguistic scars,
the evidence of great battles fought
resulting in a truce of exhaustion
this armistice is not where the story ends
however
we can pick up the banner and re-write
the true limit to what can be said
is what can be heard...
