"Danse Russe" - William Carlos Williams
"If when my wife is sleeping
and the baby and Kathleen
are sleeping
and the sun is a flame-white disc
in silken mists
above shining trees,--
if I in my north room
dance naked, grotesquely
before my mirror
waving my shirt round my head
and singing softly to myself:
"I am lonely, lonely.
I was born to be lonely,
I am best so!"
If I admire my arms, my face,
my shoulders, flanks, buttocks
again the yellow drawn shades,--
Who shall say I am not
the happy genius of my household?"
Thanks Bill. I can sleep now:)

Genius breeds and attracts genius. Where there is one genius, there are many more to come and keep company. Lack and medicracy repels genius. Elsewhere there are none. If in a family, no genius is alone. Even though the self-centered claim to be the only genius, they rarely are but instead are over-shadowing their unknown genius family members.

I will say that my grip on reality is slipping, and that we are all geniuses as we fall through the hole in the univers and land on the other side of the looking glass.

As long as you're happy, I'll sign off on the genius thing. I'm flexible like that.
The new name works, incidentally. I know you were all jittery awaiting my verdict.

I wish I could have this success in my alone adventure of duality, the introvert extrovert, and have a strong introverted side.
