IDIOLECTIC INSIGHT LTD VIII: COLUMNS

- - - 







I protect myself 

actively, 
rancorously. 

I pray to myself 
for the strength to show 
the kind of generosity
which demands nothing
in return.

I don't eat much.
I need to stay light 
when the road calls.

When the fight is 
unavoidable I must 
be clean of body 
and spirit. 

For I believe 
in the value of 
defeating the part 
of me that wants 
to lose.
