Mike Levin’s Original Poetry
When things are perfect, there is no poetry. When life gets interesting, world-views are threatened, assumptions brought into questions… well, there is poetry. I wouldn’t quite call it a fugue state… oh wait, yes. It is a fugue state. Somewhere on the spectrum, for sure.
