Time enough to take
Time rich and time poor
With love and hate to scorn
With pretty words
And hearts of fire
Let us all burn
Time enough to take
Is time you cannot have
They are generous already
In what they have given
Your hopelessly
Unworthy heart
For you have time enough to take
Take no more then you are given
What a greedy child you are
To steal that which is not yours to take
How dare you be as hubris
As the gods you scorn on high
What pretty little hypocrites
Fate has made of human hearts

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
