(I.E. es, esse: essence, Being)
“The mirror was a great boon to me.
I gave it the job of teaching me that
I was a monster.” Jean Paul Sartre
Cost/Benefit Analysis
My problem: I want to be good so
bad I can’t afford the bad it takes
to get good.
If I could care less, bad would be
no problem and good a spin-off :
hells bells--hello!
My inner Hitler groans & chuckles
how little charity I possess though
I profess: a gong show & clanging
brass. Call me sociopath
“I want to rise so high. when I shit
some of it touches every body” says
William Gass in The Heart of the
Heart of the Country but it can’t be
said with out a fence: a crime against
whole and holy, not the thought & desire
(original sin, of course it is) but the cover
up and denial is what generates the toxic
psychic waste & thickens my bozone
layer.
I would be a better person if I could
afford the bad it takes to get good,
But I can not. It costs more than
I've got to give, damnit.
xxxooo, Sam.
