Intelligence is a two-edged sword, but I’d rather have it
than to go unarmed.
I think I try to deal with solitude by writing every
thing down. I’d do better just to get used to hearing my self talk to my self.
Even if that means that a lot of it goes unheard by the public and forgotten.
I’m not saying that a friend is equal to the public. What
I AM saying is: in the absence of an other friend, and in the absence of a
Public, I would sooner keep my own company, like I am my own best friend, than
wait for them. I might just choose that over ANY public, come to think of it.
Some times. And since I would, I should. A preference is one fact you can
change into an ethic. If it’s genuine.
Fascism does not make Art. It can only steal it. Art is
all ways freedom. It dies under too much pressure, just like any other living
thing would.
I wondered where my pen for wit went. And I realize it
was confiscated by the social-justice warriors. Starting with just a few things
I discovered I was not allowed to say, I began to lose the gift and cramp my
hand. Then years later I try my hand at it again. Behold! It flows so smoothly!
So spontaneously! And then just as easily I write the Sacrilege that would
defile all the idols. And I wonder why I ever second-guessed my self. So what
if I never lived up to some impossible standard? I did not need to do so to
write brilliance before. And neither do I now. If any one seeks vengeance on
me, he was simply waiting for a man like me to give him the excuse. But I’m not
so afraid as to prevent that. I’ll contend with him instead. I have my manhood
back, so I can do it.
