“what is poetry if not seeing
and feeling,
and feeling, feelings
running deep
and okay – do I see, notice
the gray pigeon feathers that heave
by on drafts of passing
cars reeking, leaking gasoline fumes
and okay – do I feel?”

“What is Poetry
(My Sonnet, My Rules)
Any gargoyle can google
the definition of a sonnet,
Any robot can write and
rhyme 14 lines of a sonnet.
Number of lines don't make sonnet,
Impeccable rhyme don't make poetry.
Critics, police and gatekeepers are
usually least capable of originality.
It's okay if it's few lines extra,
It's okay if it's couple lines less.
It's okay if it doesn't rhyme at all,
It's the soul that matters, not vessels.
You're welcome to your dead laws of poetry,
while I bring poetry to life, shaping society.”

“What is politics, after all, but the compulsion to preside over property and make others people's decisions for them? Liberty, the very opposite of ownership and control, cannot, then, result from political action, either at the polls or at the barricades, but rather evolves out of attitude. If it results from anything, it must be levity.”

“WHAT IS POWDER BED FUSION
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) stands as a notable Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique, characterized by its layer-by-layer approach to creating objects. With its potential applications across automotive, aerospace, energy sectors, and household appliances, PBF represents a pivotal future manufacturing method. Alongside PBF, other AM methods like Laminated Object Manufacturing, Direct Energy Deposition, Stereolithography (SLA), and Solid Ground Curing (SGC) contribute to the diverse landscape of additive manufacturing.
This overview will focus on the mechanics of the PBF process, particularly highlighting Direct Metal Laser Deposition (DMLS), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), and Selective Heat Sintering (SHS). In these techniques, a layer of powder is spread onto a platform, often referred to as the build platform. While SLS, SLM, and DMLS employ lasers as the primary heat source, EBM utilizes an electron beam. SHS, on the other hand, employs a heated thermal head for sintering plastic powders. Among these methods, SLS, DMLS, and SHS are powder-sintering processes, whereas SLM and EBM are powder-melting processes.”

We always want to change the channel in our minds because we don't like what's going on. It's uncomfortable.”
