I am a disillusioned intellectual with revolutionary tendencies and uncompromising dreams.

I’d rather be this than an ignorant bastard who lives on lies.

I’d rather be stoic and melancholy than angry and violent.

But then again …

the two sides are so close the thin line vibrants from our passionate breathing and i can feel the pull of Newtonian physics, the natural attractive force of bodies pulling at my reserves.

i know i must keep self-aware and honed to never take that rhetorical step between logos and eros.
