A Platonist’s Reply to Mei Yaochen’s Sorrow

Mei Yaochen:

“But no one

Has ever come

Back from the

Underground Springs.”

Why are they, and rightly,

Called the Springs

If nowhere they go?

That’s why I believe

That the Springs are true

And Springs for real.

And what makes

Mei Yaochen

Or anyone believe

That from nowhere

We came to a life,

That even now

We’re not returned

That there’s a place

Or something

That doesn’t give (out)

Anything it has

Even though

We are and myriads

Of other beings past

Our own and

Everyone else’s counting

And that if there are

At least two points,

Partial and discreet,

There’s only one way

The part in-between is crossed?

New amendments to the new post-Covid Constitution

1. Every citizens has the right to have opinion and belief (including poetry in the case of V.S.) fact-checked and thus blocked by anonymous fact-checkers hired by Zuckerberg.
2. Every citizen has the right bordering on a voluntary obligation-cum-extrajudicial-conviction to remain at home and be unemployed out of fear that everyone around carries diseases and is presumably deadly.
3. While at home he or she or they can still voice her and his or their opinions for which FB and Zuckerberg has the right to put them in a FB jail and even shut them up forever.
4. Double standards are the only standards we have and will ever have. Live with it and move along.
