I. Law of the Golden City
You will love the seasons as they are
You will live without excess prostheses
You will experience time
You will become a stone, a tree,
a jay of the oaks, a trout,
a bacterium, a superhuman
II. Law of the Golden City
You will devote yourself to the arts in the fields
that you will transform into Eden here below
you will block the world
III. Law of the Golden City
You will forget the hate and the resentment
You will be aware of the need
for everything, for the great complexity
IV. Laws of the Golden City
Your life’s work will be a total art project
VI. Laws of the Golden City
You will silence the ego
You will inhabit emptiness
