It wouldn’t be to hide my shame at all
\nShould I refrain from making mention of’t
\nNor would I feign to write this on the wall
\nAnd join the men before me who have loved<\/p>\n
To sit uninterrupted by the eyes
\nOf those incapable of thinkers pose.
\nTis them, not I, who fail to realize
\nHow fast we fail when lacking this repose.<\/p>\n
Nature calls on one in her own time,
\nfickly finds philosophies forlorn,
\nTurns running streams of consciousness to lime:
\n“Become again the beast that you were born!”<\/p>\n
But cultured thought rests not from judgment free
\nSo, let this haven safely hidden be<\/p>\n
SONNET SKELETON, written June 2nd<\/p>\n
It’s not that I’m embarrassed
\nOr that I don’t like people
\nBut I need time and space to think
\nDespite how it’s been a joke, it is true<\/p>\n
My shitting is my business
\nAnd business requires an office
\nA place with a door you can shut
\nAnd a place to keep your notes.<\/p>\n
Besides what better way to be alone with ones self
\nAnd to understand ones nature
\nThan to let nature take hold
\nCompletely
\nAnd be the beast that you were born?<\/p>\n
If what I am cannot be truly free
\nThen let this haven safely hidden be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
