CLOUDS

Metaphoric clouds 
Analogous analgesics.           
                                
      Speak muse...
      (squeak mouse).


I envision clouds of abstractions rising
into the air, supporting each other
without (obvious?) external reference.
                       
                       

                       
Consider geodesic structures.

No single support.  

A network of nodes, touching
ground in many places.
                       
In comparison, a hierarchical
structure is like an inverted
pyramid resting on it's nose.            
                                         No wonder the damn things 
                                         get ground into powder so 
                                         often. 




    The adverserial structure of the American government.     
    A division of labor between opposing forces.              
                                                              
 Instead of                  The tendency to apply quick fixes
 a prime                     that increase the power of the   
 move, prime                 executive branch.                
 antagnoists,                                                 
 eternally                        The deep dreadful           
 at war.                          desire for a King.          
         
   Yeah, good/evil,   
   yeah, order/chaos... 
      
      anything else?
