Un-school

existential angst, paradigm shifts, poetry, work

“We learn to live without passion
to be reasonable”
                        –Jack Gilbert
I desire
to be stupid
to be careless
to fall in love
with my life
to strip the staid
anger from my chest
and sing a song
before my voice
gags on expectations
to be someone else
(March 2013)
