I wish to clarify,
if such is needed,
that much of my writing
is not written from the top of a tower
(at least I like to think it isn't...)

Much of my writing is the recourse I seek
when I see signs of things with which I disagree
brewing up inside of me.

When I write 'you'
I might sometimes be talking to me.
When I write 'one'
I may sometimes be passive-aggressively targeting myself.

My rancor is seeded by observations
but I am also subject to those observations.
In fact, I'm my closest point of reference.
