Everyone has a hippopotamus story to tell. The strange excesses of these creatures compel the imagination with the moldering of a thousand stained presidents. Shooting hippos works wonders so enjoy hippos while you can. Granted, hippos fritter their lives eating grasses and water lilies when they could be stomping on choice examples of human industry and leaping for greenbacks. Weighing as much as anything humanly useful in terms of many tons, they sport a lively humor. Why not? The word hippopotamuscomes from the Greek for 'water-horse', suggesting that the Greeks didn't know--tant pis!--what a real horse looks like. The hippo's head easily matches the size of a cramped mansion, which is to say human imagination. Hippos run faster than you, swim like sylphs, and climb trees with agile grace. In groups they are called hippopotami, which sounds pretty select, intellectually speaking. Truth requires a certain vantage to bring forth the vibrations of the material world. Savour the hippopotamus residing in the verbs of contrived patience that regulate your passage thru the bristles of your world. Just don't let hippopotamus eat your riverboat or your head.
The work becomes chiding of sunlight. The work is elegy and shaded. The principle ciphers as a god, in the way transience is purpose. Transience works this brief, ending fields, making trees concern. The hell of halting midway identifies the work of burning thru. Forever makes a sign. Sign makes worthy. Indeed the tramp of feet forward concludes any sentences but suggests more. Long sentences, stupid words. The caroling heard by Dante, brilliantine remorse for a better tide. The long road up from down, and turned around. The work then becomes the work now, as stained glass similitude. Anxious in the class structure of catastrophe, the baying song over all. Nothing to do but be done. Ruskin gave you papers to remind you. Slow battering concedes the earth in time. Time being functional and oblique. The worker inside sees the nation by exhalation. Transitive connection sports of culture. The class that ends becomes the class that begins, both left and right.
