Passing judgment with haste and laying to waste those who stand
|
before us and dishonour the faith. A dramatic opinion, but an opinion
|
the same. An attempt now to make right, not to enthrall or defame. An
|
opinion piece, one after another. Laid fat from feast, one after another.
|
A man is nothing more than what others claim he is, so speak clear and
|
ill of me and so it will be. The grating sound of my voice. The yellowing
|
of my teeth. Speak up. Speak clear. Speak ill of me. I found myself awake
|
last night. May the players take their place, repeat their lines exactly
|
to my public disgrace. The years exaggerate how horrible it was to be
|
stricken silent with no e xplanation for the cause. I canĄŻt be the only one
|
losing sleep over things I should or shouldnĄŻt have done. They are the
|
rope around the neck. They are the blade pressed to the wrist. It might
|
seem detrimental, but itĄŻs meaningless. Left to my own devices, I am
|
strange. IĄŻm a liar?entertained. I am no one to be reviled. I am no one to
|
be admired. Jumping rope at the end of the street, I am everyone, and
|
everyone is me.
