Perfect way to open a poetic treatise on judgment and its accruements. Lovely read. It has it’s own cadence.

And it strikes me as capturing some very universal feelings on the subject while at the same time I can only see it being written by you.

I'm smart enough to see my weakness
not wise enough to eliminate it.

Really enjoyed the entire poem, but those lines in particular.

I hear the pounding of nails on my coffin lid.

It is so strange for me to see the words "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" when, for 20+ years it has been "Also Sprach Zarathurstra" for me - even before I knew any Deutsche.


It's just one of those strange things you realize living with € all of these years. He's infectious, you know. Maybe even inspirational, ja?
