new mind regimen

To increase your mind, 
I recommend listening 
to a new language, imagining 
what meanings might be 
- use intuition wildly, 
and find reason bound 
to imagination by speculative 
means.
Next 
perhaps fantasy. Fancy is too often 
too flighty, let your fantasy be rigor
and strict discipline, I mean
in logic
terms 
not
anything necessarily or consequentially
sexual. Perhaps romance is on your mind? 

If so, begin burly training of the mind's
imaginary muscles, especially 

the other's. In mind, 
test and extend, stretch
their limber lithe limbs 
and give them a real 
workout! Pay special 
attention to the butt glutes. 
Use 
this. 
Try repetitious motion! Then 
tell the other how they did 
in your mind? It could be 

time for brutal honesty. 

If so? 

Be fascinated by it. Exclaim 
things like "Logic!" when 
a true or fair point is made. 
Make a serious, stern face 

and stroke one's chin 
with erect index finger,
in a way suggestive of
potent thought. 

Make eye contact electric 

and note, "I am still thinking 

about what you are about 
to say."

Make meaningful rise of
eyebrow(s) at this point of
yours. A point 
as valid
as it may be provocative, 
so worry! Cross

your fingers of both hands, stoop
and stand bolt straight, stoop
and sway low. Improvise rituals
which may propitiate the other. Groan
low in somber ululation, if asked 
what you are doing. Throughout, 

keep making eye contact meaningful. 

In these ways, you will realize 
and come to understand why 
I recommend listening to a new 
language, in order to increase 

your mind. Because 

we kind of wandered from that, 
and that 
didn't turn
out so well. Back to basics is best, 

but judge
for yourself, 
and your judgment

reflects
