The only man who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measure anew every time he sees me, whilst all the rest go on with their old measurements, and expect them to fit me.

Measurement

Measurement fail
In the rise and fall
In the birth and death.
And I have no time
To measure again
In space.

A hundred objective measurements didn't sum the worth of a garden only the delight of its users did that. Only the use made it mean something.

Science is a kind of glorified tailoring enterprise, a method for taking measurements that describe something — reality — that may not be understood at all.

Beyond Time

beyond time
is love

time is a measurement
of the past
and the present
and the future
that we tend to limit
within a
certain space

love is beyond time
it is when
measurements
do not matter anymore
because
you love
and your love
has no measure

Like unleavened wafers in the land of your muse,
But the raiding bands were seen at last.

Love is the total absence of fear. Love asks no questions. Its natural state is one of extension and expansion, not comparison and measurement.

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

Just A Little Bit

Your thinking that you love him
Your careering off the track
Your too busy doing nothing
You don't see that it won't last
When your strung across the age gap
All your friends spin down the drain
And your th proof of that old cliche
If I could only have my time again

Hand on-off the handle
Where's your self respect?
Your water up all sucked ending
Where's your measurement now?

Think your the artful Dodger
You can only dodge for so long
And when fate it pulls your plug out
You'll wonder what wen't wrong

Hand on-off your handle
