The Highest Peak of the Ruwenzori
The way already we are nostalgic for what the poet will write of
The way they say popularity is a pollution
The way the Abominable Yes-Men appear
The way we look at everything through a lexical kaleidoscope
The way rupture is not rapture
The way one must give them brioche and YouTube
The way it is impossible to not hate death unless you are dead
The way what is required is a profounder founder
The way exertion is extortion
The way even California is not California
The way there hasn't been time
The way that my deductions were inconclusive
The way that psychology requires the psycho
The way that justice for profit can never be just
The way I wrote a poem for my poem
The way violence is the appropriate response to the wanna-be tyrant
The way the pretenders to cosmopolitanism occupy the cosmos
The way what you condone you invite
The way frustration is the Adversary
The way the lovable don't know the worst of the world
The way what is uninterpreted is hardly heard
The way sleep is the left hand of being
The way when my muse is not roused
The way the cure is mercurial
The way all of my history is apocryphal
The way everyone I've known is AWOL or MIA
The way I took an instant dislike to Miss Nomer
The way I can never love anyone when they are wrong
The way "Don't be dualistic" is such a dualistic stricture
The way the wisest thing is to strive to become wise
The way our duty is to ignore duty
The way mortality is immoral
The way the technological is techno-logical
The way to prepare to perceive more than we perceive
The way anger shouts, anguish whimpers
The way we wrestle the wraith
The way we need more marvelous marvels
The way I like to love, but I love to like
The way form is to photo as function is to video
The way what could be is what should be
The way to examine with some interest that which is set before you
The way truth is an alignment with fact, irrespective of expectation or desire
The way you can't legislate against offense
The way it might be like to live where there is nowhere else to look to and long for
The way to determine the value of my opinion that your opinion has no value
The way to once again find yourself challenged to a suffering match
The way much abuse is consensual
The way nationalism is always, always toxic
The way to never climb the highest peak of the Ruwenzori
The way they don't care what they don't know
The way what in you makes you love them also makes you lose them
The way poetry articulates the unspeakable
The way the more things change, the less we embrace change
The way nothing teaches inevitability like aging
The way you can love indefinitely or infinitely
The way you need enough of the right words
The way I am preference
The way I never, to my knowledge, saw Ulmus americana
The way a sign is a prophecy that we interpret for ourselves
The way opposition is always based in confusion
The way we are only response
The way a paragon is as rare as a unicorn
The way what is better is what is more interesting
The way it's not what it's about, it's what it's doing
The way imagery is just a particular juxtaposition of information
The way it is different to have a question than to pose a question
The way we respond to revision
The way the most valuable knowledge is to discover what you have misunderstood
The way you are responsible for your tyrant
The way we never think of the future futurists
The way I will never believe what I want to be true
The way no one has time to find the specific in the prolific
The way perfection must include imperfection
The way every moment, lost, becomes an eternal memorial of loss
