We will invent new lullabies, new songs, new acts of love,
we will cry over things we used to laugh &

in the end a summer with wild winds &
new friends will be.
Ginsberg's Theorem:
(1) You can't win.
(2) You can't break even.
(3) You can't even quit the game.
Freeman's Commentary on Ginsberg's theorem:
Every major philosophy that attempts to make life seem

(2) Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
(3) Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game.
