Two Times Twice
An interior vision, an open book
and an idea of a general design.
To express the universe
Light creeps through the paraffin disks
In every corner
In which there is no escape
Light is a smile, it belongs to no one,
It belongs to me, it belongs to you,
Diamond shapes displayed.
The heart diamond is connected,
by the union of two.
There is a metaphysical dance
By which each supports the other.
My daughters name is Nie
Means number two in Japanese
She works as a model here in Tokyo.
Smiling sweet in front of the camera.
She smiles with her mouth tight shut.
Her second side, call it a face book
No attempt to conceal her frame of mind.
So revealing, an open book.
I can scarcely imagine myself
in these images.
I’m out of the picture and proud of her.
No one will take from you
The thing that you are.
You can tell that when you recall
Seeing your face in the mirror.
Two Times Twice
By putting your minds together,
you have a mind that’s larger.
larger than the two combined.
For a co-operative universe
instead of a competitive universe.
If you put two together.
You don't have one and one plus two,
You’ve got two times two times two,
it cubes itself.
I explain her strength.
She is tough on me.
I am rolling from one world
end into another.
I call it my two rooms.
She let me out and in.
