below the avenging angel on panecillo hill, where we descend & descend
far beyond the confident boundaries of the self

A last word or words:
Systems
Interrelations, in most cases, are considered a demonstrable fact. We live in an interactive paradigm. Further, we all exist within a constantly changing inter-relational web. Another representation of an inter-relational web would be a system or systems. A system is, minimally, a group of members, entities, parts, and/or elements that: 1) interrelates for a common purpose or purposes and/or a common functions or functions and that 2) exhibits characteristics and behaviors unique to its purpose and functions.

Several weeks ago, I had an opportunity to attend a poetry reading in Salem; Salem is the capital city of Oregon. Poet Carlos Reyes, an Oregon resident, gave a reading at a downtown bookstore. Reyes is an excellent and talented writer, poet, & translator. Of course, his reading that evening, at the bookstore, was superb and he focused mostly on his recent poetic projects. However, during the reading, I developed a nagging sensation, and I started to cast about, mentally, for a forgotten connection which had slipped my mind.
