a r c h y
fry himself
(CvI19)
and before i could argue him
into one little roll
i was talking to a moth
the other evening
and then we shoot the roll
he was trying to break into
an electric light bulb
out of his philosophy
that is what life is for
and fry himself on the wires
(fAt4P)
it is better to be
why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
but at the same time i wish
he went and immolated himself
a part of beauty
because it is the conventiona
l
thing for moths or why
for one instant and then
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
on a patent cigar lighter
cease to
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
exist than to exist forever
have you no sense

there was something i wanted
i do not agree with him
and never be a part of beauty
plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
our attitude toward life
of using it
we get bored with the routine
myself i would rather have
is come easy go easy
and crave beauty
and excitement
we are like human beings
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
as badly as he wanted to
half the happiness and twice
used to be before they became
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
too civilized to
it is better to be happy
for a moment
the longevity
enjoy themselves
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
(BxwN4)
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
