freedom:
if you can find it
I want it (now)
perhaps because
it’s
so very simple
and true
even if forgotten
and so very simple
forgotten
by our world
you want lyricism
you want anti-lyricism/cynicism
systematic
make up your mind damn it
what has meaning for you
do you even know
(?)
disassociate disassociation
be courageous imaginative
be Hegelian Marxist
materialist idealist
be poetic/politik
maybe slightly analytic
be Nietzsche and Sartre and Kierkegaard
[existentialism]
I would say
it’s not here
what you need
[breathe]
[pause]
[think]
if you want
[existence] crave reality
harmonize yourself free
craft a world of thought mirrors
reflecting you back your dreams and goals back
assertion
and, believe:
be strong
deceive
forgo cowardly brute force
for intellectual manipulation
persuasion
Kantian morality [obligation duty] (strictly rough)
in other words:
tell the truth—
strength.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
