all the time charged with or

by my own lightning heart like a

Hölderlin poem I’d like to start over

I’d like someone to force me to start

over be consistent be meaningful I’m

just excellent pretense a persona

surviving each moment it

goes back to high school maybe

even younger being son in a family

punished into anti-radical

obedience to the expectations of others
