I can’t be your acclaimed writer
Right now
I haven’t got any time for it
You see
excerpt from Pessimism
The choices I made
in passing moments
The secrets I kept
impressed me with the tiniest of dents.
The aluminum foil,
the fabric of my self laid bare
excerpt from Aluminum Foil
What shall I say
The genius comes on
But what shall it say
I want it to explode
A thousand fragments
Littering the page
To let them know
That I think harder now
excerpt from Insanity, if you please

It's 1969 and some high school students in a small town decide to oppose a war that makes no sense and promises to set their lives on a different path against their wishes.
