Then, the keeper said to her, “Do you remember me? I remember you. You filled my cup to get yourself drunk 2 days later I wake up in a ditch 13 feet under the surface of my own logic. How did you do it? You bewitched me with that smile And you left me, riding the dragon into my worst nightmare You lived with the friend of my enemy And here we stand, still… Still ****** into the worst dizzy spell of my life Still unsure whether to fight the dragon, or tame it. Tame the dragon, or tame you. Tame you, or tame my reason.” That is the story of a keeper’s life The knowledge of his self-contradictory self Running from the heart that soothes him Even if it is his own Just to come into control of himself Through the taming of a rare creature That nobody can domesticate. At least not him.
