Heart Open Shut
I would have been
happy
(perhaps, maybe)
If the entire, um,
sympos-i-um
Had tasted
her
sweet and sour body
Screaming, loving, digging into flesh;
yum
,
So long as I was left far back in the dark,
In ignorance, in blissful illiteracy,
The stage of
Mystery versus History
But now I know, and now I just have no choice, I have to say goodbye, I have to say
adieu
, I have to wave the white flag at the black ship leaving the harbor forever--"EvrΓ©monde!", I cry out, but the ship just keeps sailing... Now the flag is in tatters and so is my mind, now the window is shut open and my heart is open shut. Why would you
tell
me, why would someone have the
audacity
of being so genuine and honest and truthful? Why wouldn't you show some humanity? This generation has no tact, we have too many good values and I'm losing faith in humankind as it becomes, sadly, far too human!
In Shakespeare, the degeneration of a character's speech from verse to prose represents a mental breakdown of sorts.
