No no  Context If you cant provide me context its nonsensedon bother


Beauty without purpose is beauty without virtue. 
                                                   as it came out of his mouth he was very pleased with himself  this man who didnt read poetrywho didnt know Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman

he repeated Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman a second time pulled on the chain dangling from the lamp an either there was a nonexistent lightbulbmost likely or the lightbulb was burned out unlikely

he countered Beauty without . .
. . Please  sayin it again is a miserable echo  Context man context  context Epizeuxis  Yasee I tryin hard to keep ya on yer toes

Beauty without purpose . . he dug in his heels which he often did when they discussed things

Context man 
              If Mary Oliver intended that phrase to be a poem in itself nothing would have preceded or followed it  We know stanzas were before an aft  So stop an stop  I know where yare going  Evidence  the title of the poem but worrying the line again an again is not evidence 
                                                   in kind ya might suggest a scrotum is evidence of virility  However the scrotum may not contain a testicle  A testicle is more likely evidence of virility  A scrotum a hanging bulb of flesh alone lacks evidence conviction  lacks contextcontents  Hacked freeturned into a coin purseas you full well know because I lectured you on the violence white men perpetrated on First Peoplenot that tribes didnt have savage moments but outgunned outmanned  well   scrotum coin purses were preciously distinctly a white Americas brand  now longgone
Made in America

counterpoint


he took a breath 
                  Beauty without purpose is . .

turning a deaf ear to him he wondered what their next excursion might be  it was early they still had coffee  theyd work their way over to his place for beers 
                                      their high wouldnt burn off for hours
