And only here and there a freak like me
Looking at himself, all of him, with intense scrutiny,
See how he runs round like a dog, every particle
Concentrated on getting in safe somewhere, while he
With equal determination must push himself out,
Feel more at all costs, experience more, be shattered more,
Driven towards an unqualifiable upward and onward
That is - all morons feel - suicidally over the score.
