Each time I see someone exist, I'm stricken ignorant, perplexed, and confusion looms before my tomb like a warped warp tied on a loom and I've ruminated, loved and hated, pondered perfection and doom and will and still I wonder, "What is it like to be human?"
You can't see very far. You're not as smart as you think you are, and it's so easy to forget, for every wonder seen you are in debt. What do you want to know?
Nothing ever seems to last. You're either looking down or to the past. The world is loud and fast and strange. You look for stillness only to find change.
A human like you couldn't understand, but I will give you my hand and a tour of no man's land. Here is my hand.
You can't ignore a mystery. You're not as good as you pretend to be. You might get high when things get low. You will hold on and then you will let go. What do you want to know?
