perfect

never perfect

only speculate
not tangible

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 115


Throughout the ages men
have marked and dyed their
hides for sake of unit
pride Whereas
I was born
w/ most my
marks of Pride.
And those I've
served
w/
are
dying
in
the
future and
they long
ago have
died.

been getting better at living every
day like my last

de-script-ions (theories)

Heroic, tragic, conception,
And love, lots of love,
And chances, lots of taking chances,

On this self-grading pop quiz,
I get an F,
Baudelaire, Ginsberg, Schopenhauer get A's
The human condition is absurd.
