What is there, besides,
the physical senses of satisfaction,
bacchanalia, sensuality, sex,
the social niceties of conceit,
wit, style, snob,
the psychological consolations of companionship,
love, philia, ennui,
the warming dogmas of religion,
gratitude, admiration, passion,
the triumphant realization of self,
overcoming, salvation, complacence,
the egotistic fulfillment of status,
wealth, fame, adulation,
the charged stupor of politics,
change, impact, folly,
the infinite journey of art,
beauty, labor, irresolution,
the passionate masturbation of curiosity,
discovery, invention, utility,
the rigorous arguments of philosophy,
literature, history, oration,
the endless search for something, from
senses to thoughts, from
observation to imagination, from
culture to crime, from
kings to crooks, from
freedom to inability, from
simplicity to complexity, from
self to others, from
then to now,
values, aside, what is there?
