Nietzche

[Someone remind me if I have already posted this . . . ]
Derivations of a theme
Machinations of the mind
And the terrible tutelage of lore –
Inhabitants of this pedantic wasteland
Cupbearers of the intelligentsia
I deem your countenance familiar
As it accumulates dust . . .
- Spontaneity: a buttress in my cerebral cathedral -
Oh Virginia,
I was never afraid
Do I too receive.
As a token for my efforts,
A room of my own?
Or must I persist
In this lonely chamber of decay . .
Heh, we never even bothered to patch up our problems
But wore our cracks and blemishes
As regalia of our station
Fulfilling our prophecy
To wallow in discontent
Keeping maternal watch
Over larvae raised in
Stagnate puddles of sentimentality
This too once was cherished
And this bears signs of loving ware
Tonight we’ll empty our closets
And purge our past
Unleashing specters
Best kept hidden and repressed
