Solitary, Alienated, and Malcontent
It's wrong and too soon to make any assumptions about
the intended destinations, the prizes I expected would be
excruciating amounts of energy, and always seemed about to fly off.
There was something undeniably alluring about the aristocracy of
some mole who finally claws aboveground at the foot of the
inability to pay for a lifestyle upgrade, though
rather than admit to past deficiencies and try to reconcile
a pain the likes of which I'd never inhabited,
that feeling would've been a kind of self-love: look at what I
ought to be really quite loud about ... methods of
the funniest person alive. What I can't convey
was an unmitigated tenderness for something.
