curiosity is my sake

ever left, the right hand free

little universal gifts

every while if you kNow how

to see for what you seek

what nobody can take from someone else

when one provides it for oneself

heartily so it scares the others

who don't have that

and would never rather drop dead

than live without passionate convictions

the only answer or end

i need is me

the rest can remain a mystery

to be known only enigmatically

feared and desired

an idea with arms, legs, and a head

in real life

a pariah

and then we meet

but i am still not

sure what it means to be human

i am only responsible for what i say,

not for what you understand.

you may learn to be charmed by my [secret‽] discontent,

or you may not.
