If true
that old age
is but a bad habit …
what can youth become

*

Divorcing passion
from intellect
Two orphans
created
Homeless together
— inside of one soul

*

If you want
to be free
First
be a prisoner
A captive
of prescience
An inmate
— of self

*

Contradiction …
a privilege of freedom

*

Knowledge is a prison
— and freedom its bars

**

The pedantic
philosopher
Indistinguishable
— from the fool
