There's a negative perspective about human being in this song except the last lines. Also, some compounds in it are appealing like gourmet of mind and rasp of pain.

'Choose mind, choose body, choose to wed the two; many have tried but few have done the deed. Through you, perhaps, I may at last succeed.' - Loved these concluding lines of the poem, as also the unique title of it.

I am surprised not to see any comment on this beautiful poem, published eight and a half years ago. 'all of life, considered from the body's point of view, is a downhill slide & all our small preservatives & griefs cannot reverse the trend.' - Loved this deep thought. Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

How can this be anything but full marks? Brilliance coupled with uniqueness permeates every verse with a complexity of vanity’s and question, yet hidden carefully, the verses are tainted with hope, what a masterpiece of poetry! ! ! ! So rare on this site! ! Ful

There are some lines of the poem that are really good, but not enough of them of them, to really save it. Pity!

Great poem. Anti matter exists because there is never a vacuum. If there is matter anti matter is there to counter the anti matter. Interestingly the anti matter will need anti squared matter to counter balance. All leading to the god particle.
