Completely unfettered from all pros and cons, I dive into the Void that is charged within me: No questions, no answers -- I am disheartened, Just like a stupid or a dry tortoise shell or a pair Of crushed boots or a broken bank or a bargain, Which is finally wrecked. O how hard it is, man, To pass one's good self off as a fair fool, strictly!
