Peter Pink-Howitt, "blood-letting of sorts", algo-art 2022 CE"Something to do with violence a long way back and wrong rewards and arrogant eternity" (Phillip Larkin) *** A blood-letting of sorts heralded your first day here. Prehistoric beast that you seemed in your fear. *** Fear that needed, needs still, a little more than a kick in the teeth and three words to heal. *** Confusion inevitably ensued, and the twisted fears turn us all inside-out, or rather, they skew our futures with incessan...

Part 2 — Homo Deus Continued from Part 1 Little escaped their minute attentions and predations: The Soul, an early casualty Of more precise instrumentation Senescence, just another Dragon to be slayed* The Mysteries gave way To complex refutation *** Too few paused To wonder whether Ever quicker Computation Would unleash the Ancient iron law Of more is less *** Their stupid siblings Were burned To turn The world Into a treasure store Of Information *** Confusing translation With transliterati...
thepinkpantherJourney Down The Mekong
Sleepy towns divided by a stone's throw Speaking different languages within hearing distance And always the river's lullaby Its sweetly caressing song: *** "your differences are arbitrary if only you would know and like my distant tributaries you form the same great flow" *** Two days we drifted languidly Past elephant and buffalo And children playing free *** All As we Schooled daily In flowing Sagacity

To your people the Mekong means business
The Nam Kang is their playground
***
Your children have suffered much
From your beauty and your weakness
Their children will suffer for their beauty too
***
But their smiles
Ngaam lai, ngaam lai lai
And their warmth
Khawp jai, lai lai.

Luang Prabang:
A jewel on a pinhead
Trying to balance
To your people the Mekong means business
The Nam Kang is their playground
***
Your children have suffered much
From your beauty and your weakness
Their children will suffer for their beauty too
***
But their smiles
Ngaam lai, ngaam lai lai
And their warmth
Khawp jai, lai lai.
