For the record, I have not heard a single song of King Crimson yet. This poem came to me through the Minstrels, my benefactors.
Indiscipline
I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours,
But by the time I was done with it,
I was so involved,
I didn’t know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days,
Playing little games,
Like not looking at it for a whole day,
And then looking at it,
To see if I still liked it.
I did!
I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I
repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat
The more I look at it,
the more I like it.
I do think it’s good.
The fact is
no matter how closely I study it,
no matter how I take it apart,
no matter how I break it down,
It remains consistent.
I wish you were here to see it.
I like it!
— King Crimson

Lux, this sounds very familiar….did you email it some time ago???
I remember liking the part about I repeat myself when under stress a lot and that is what struck me both the times I’ve read this piece!!!
