On thematic literary inflections

                    The backbeat ... the rhythm is like breathing great music ... akin to the oil paint rhythm employed in Bebop and then the rhythm of Free Jazz and acrylic paints.
            For me to find the rhythm in a haiku is to reveal some universal spiritual truth that transcends religions, the divinity within haiku, that universal backbeat, that literary thematic inflection of rhythm, which transcends the arts
