the old sensitive trees you see on the coast here
they can make you believe life is sad
gods in the forest
a character's always he or she or they
never it Levinas the French Jewish philosopher
my friend, Alphonso Lingis, you can call me Al
and when you call me, I am called to myself
to answer for myself, Al
as if my self is what you have when you're busy
doing other things also from Lithuania
anyway, Immanuel Levinas insight is God is individual
is not the general category of transcendent Being
an individual like a character, he she and they
they pull their own roots out of the ground
the old sensitive trees do not oppose the young
and when you meet God, it's like anyone
hey, how ya doin? like the song ...
they throw themselves they hurl themselves off cliffs
yell, Bollocks overboard !
and hurtle out of bed like they are leaving this life
any gods must die?
it's a question you can only answer with a proper name.
