[hometext] => a strange thumb nail of thought.
[bodytext] => To wake one morning & to have forgotten all I know. This would be sweetest desire, Sweet desire, a pure opiate dream of a poet. To not know that the difference between a rouge, a scoundrel, a bum is largely a matter of luck seasoned with a pinch of attitude. All this kind of wisdom - such a poor cross to bear, I can largly do without! That god can be for and against the same thing At the same time, despite what is proclaimed. That there are no better angel of ones nature, Only nature & whim. If omnipotence leads to anything it is impotence & dithering. That writing is but a confession of a writers thoughts & drives. & that in this vein I sincerely appreciate Aesop’s foibles. But to awake from troubles is sweet desire, To have forgotten all I know is the power to rediscover.
