"Hexagram 13: T’ung Jên—Fellowship with Men"


Dry colleagues one day
under fire: members in the
wild, involved. The world


of ambition, the
syndrome of ambition meets
the flexible door


of ambition, and
the differentiation
of classes is a


stingy road of blame
ascending the city wall
like a three-year-old


Chiang Kai-shek, like a
gentleman who is also
the trapped enemy.


Wail, attack, depress,
direct against going. The
mutual restraint


of masters is a
suburb of no regret. Laugh,
generally, first.

"Hexagram 13: T’ung Jên—Fellowship with Men" appears online at The Book of Haiku Revelation. It is number 13 as part of an ongoing series, The I Bing: The Book of Exchanges, created and curated by Terry S. Kattleman. The blog is a wide-ranging exploration and manipulation of logos, meaning, interpretation and extrapolation, with a variety of texts and subtexts from Socrates to Albert Ayler.  

Kattleman offers the following by way of guide: Gysinian Haikuistics® (aka The Process™) is a constrained volitional cut-up methodology formulated by Terry S. Kattleman, Moriarty dean of the Department of Poetic Assemblage, College of Etheric Arts, Interzone University, and Chief Executive Offertory of the Society for Bingian Translational Reanalysis.

Bingian Translational Reanalysis™ is a modality of language permutation contingent upon erratic Internet translation procedures. Deus Ex Logos Machina.
