For Kent

My art, it is hard to define
My method, it's hard to divine
I do without doing, try not to try
Stand on the earth, under the sky

You've heard that the earth is round
Yet were small, and it doesn't so seem
Compare then my goals to the ground
And you're starting to know what I mean

I am an expert at nothing
A Master of nothing am I
I pray to the Lord for my breakfast
I walk the earth under the sky

There are but two things in the world
My child
Only two things in the world
The one is all that you can see
The other is everything else

Never mind the contradictions
Opposites exist
In every meaning of words and worlds
Our lives are made of this

How could you rise, when everythings flat?
How could your enemies fall?
There's time for that at the end of the world
After we're done with it all

The singularity is, Lord help me, Great
It frightens me, makes me stay up late
The view from our minds
Behind our eyes
Is something we commonly hate
But no one expects us to be too great

That's why we have faith
We say, "This is what I know!"
We plant our feet, grit our teeth
While the fight lays all of us low

Though low we are laid
At the end, in a grave
We also get mightily high
And we often know
That to strive so hard
We're totally justified

That's why we try so hard
To be healthy, organized
There basically is no more wasteable time
Remaining in our lives

With my brother in mind
As a team, we try
To bring us all ever higher
With my sister in hand
We take our stand
Doing our best to inspire

Thank you, my friends
For being so great
I wish you all success
