Sincerity, if you can fake that you got it made
monday ramble not a jam but it is all I got now
Remember outside the mind...
what day is this? what
place arrives at a miracle?
two geese above us
sweet smell of firewood
cold air, hands in gloves
meteors shoot the breeze
three strands of barbed wire
between texas and north pole
summer to winter overnight
fifty degree drop in temperature in 24 hours
cold wind strips leaves from wind
I can't be a fair weather walker
lazy bones won't cooperate
time for captain Zen to save my ass
cold mornings bring back pains from every insult
every broken bone every punch that hit home
I suppose it would be an oxymoron to call Zen a miracle
but it sure seems that way to me
walk walk walk
not talk talk talk
every step is a leap of faith
the mechanics of walking
walking is a controlled fall
one step forward and the body falls forward
then another step and gravity puts the weight on that foot,
I have got a long way to fall
I can't write haiku
sitting here naked with the heat on, I can't write a ku until I step out that door.
no center, no shower, no clothes no shoes, what will drive me now is the desire to let those two three liners write one too.
de la pasa

Did you know Babel Fish name is from the DNA novel The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy ,
Well I was babel-ing and google-ing those three lines and it led me to this, it sort of seems to relate
In his Rede Lecture at Cambridge, in May 1959, C. P. Snow
describes two wars: one in the late nineteenth century between religion and science, and the other in the second half of the twentieth century between the sciences and humanities.1 In a recent article in Science titled "Deconstructing the Science Wars by Reconstructing an Old Mold," Stephen Jay Gould quotes Snow's article and attempts to find a "golden mean," or the aurea mediocritus of Horace and Aristotle for the undeclared war between the sciences and the humanities.2 The former represents all working scientists that generally uphold the objective and progressive nature of scientific knowledge, dubbed "realists," and the latter, all of the humanities and social sciences, where postmodernists regard all claims to truth to be culturally embedded, including science. In fact, the truth claims in science are considered as social constructs with their own conventions and arbitrariness.
Objectivity and Subjectivity in Human KnowledgeThe polarization between objective-realism and subjective-relativism created by social constructivists represents a false dichotomy based on a misunderstanding of scientific truth claims. This misunderstanding has arisen from a misrepresentation of what science actually entails. It is an objectivist myth that science is based on a fully general method, rooted in observation and experimentation, by minds consciously free of bias, using universal tools of reason to accumulate reliable knowledge, steadily and inexorably. In fact, as with all human activities, science is and always will remain part of human culture. Despite their best efforts to remain objective, scientists are human, subject to emotional and even irrational vagaries, and reluctant to give up cherished and established theories even in view of anomalies that question their accepted norms.3 A classic example is the manner in which Wegener was ostracized and ridiculed by colleagues for his theory of tectonic plates in 1915.4 Wegener supported his work with extensive geological research but died in 1930 as an intellectual outcast. Now, almost seventy years after his death, his idea is accepted as common wisdom.

"every few thousand years a little genie comes along and pisses on the pillars of science" not sure but I think that is from The Wandering Jew by Eugene Sue
