I wish to be carefree
like I once was, and not feel this badness.

With nothing to lose, you'll take chances.
You become fearless, a false confidence.
You beget pleasure, gain accomplices.
Careless longing, nostalgia,
The ethics' dare answer
a contented human
so wholesome.

They say "...people
who are homesick for infinity
find it more or less in all drugs",
So come a little closer
like I once was.

Line Ten, Eleven & Twelve from Henri Micheux (1956) Miserable Miracle, p. 67.
