"We know the best revenge is living well"


Poem Artwork

Enjoying the View from the Carousel

If I were not like you would I then be
Expected to fit your expectation?

The death of individuality
Of the specificity of the soul
Is the most personal degradation

Our relationship has always been free
Of control where each partner plays a role
According to some predetermined plan
So this is no problem for you and me

Each of us is part woman and part man
And we fit according to the season
As we have since our adventure began

Riding things out through rhyme and through reason
Enjoying the view from the carousel
Having this one chance to live all we can
We know the best revenge is living well

+Steven Curtis Lance

Each of us is part woman and part man

I see you are in touch with your feminine side. Not every man is brave enough for that.
God Bless,
Lew
