Intellect without
Heartfelt Knowledge of Being
Misses its Lover.

[Rich Note: The “first two lines” of this one generated so many good “third lines” I couldn’t resist a “reprise.” Here are some that go in a number of different conceptual directions: “Is full of itself, is self-deluded, is self-infested, is full of self doubt, is afraid of life, is self-destructive, seeks self-fulfillment, is full of concepts, is built upon sand, is a rootless tree, is a barking dog, is a sounding brass, is a braying ass, is without substance, loses its meaning and has little to say." I also invite anyone who might wish to do so to suggest their own "third lines".]
