Not Nietzche

If you gaze
long enough
into a lighted window
at night,
eventually
the lighted window
goes dark.
(i.e., Common Sense for Uncommonly Complicated Philosophers
Who Hang out at Starbucks
and Read Immanuel Kant While Hoping
That the Nerdy-Cute Barista
Finally Finally
Pays Him Mind
Because According to Kant
“It is beyond a doubt
that all our knowledge begins with experience”
And He Longingly Longed For Experience
Beyond Text & Frappucinos.)

    This is the stuff you do that gets me. Unconventional, quirky and speaks volumes…or not. That depends on me
