Universal
diverse
communal

yin needing yang
dark partners with light


buried
obfuscated

sensed
spurred by need

a vital need
to be at liberty

to grow, dignified
to become

it's name-Human
one and all.

lightness of being

conditions of origin,
formative landscape,
biographical knot-

false rivalry
bounce off trampoline
to reach the sky,

value judgements
silent expectations
named the game...

tempers rise
in success and defeat
driven by beliefs

in every player's
head enslaved by
mismanaged conceit.

Herman says
ludic means
bring in light

Van Gogh and
Nietzsche need not
have been mad or sad
