Meanwhile the Mind, from Pleasure Less
If you can think of a physical surface then you already know what it would feel like to lick it
A poet told me this
Poets love science and to be amazed
I have never licked a porpoise and yet
Amazing I said to the poet
We were indoors in a room
In my mind a problem developed
What does one say to a porpoise
The porpoise suggested there is no need to speak
The porpoise suggested it already knows
