24. On my part
On my partIt is painfully inappropriate
To speak ill of my earth-reality.
Yet
I do it.
I do it because I am a citadel
Of inconscience-night.
On my part
It is fruitlessly inappropriate
To speak ill of my Heaven-dream.
Yet
I do it.
I do it because my life
Is a dance of frustration-annihilation.
