The discovery of difference
Requires intensive practice;
Apprehension is refined by its limits.
The human is always and everywhere
Primitive and exotic.
One colonises sadly,sure to be one day overthrown.
In nightmares he could see the uniform hordes
Marching in sexless lifeless lock step,
Democratic serfs, sophisticated cretins.
He built his own Forbidden City,
Bridges, temples and pavilions aligned
With the heavens and earth.
Hiking in the Breton forest,
He fell, badly injured,to lay for days,alone,
And when his dead body was found
A copy of Hamlet lay open beside him.
