So in this great disaster of our birth
We can be happy, and forget our doom.
For morning, with a ray of tenderest joy
Gilding the iron heaven, hides the truth,
And evening gently woos us to employ
Our grief in idle catches. Such is youth;
Till from that summer’s trance we wake, to find
Despair before us, vanity behind.

But here all vivid dyes that garish be,
To that tint mellowed which the sense will bear,
Glow, and not wound the eye that, resting there,
Lingers to feed its gentle ecstacy.

Garish were the flourished, kaleidoscope eyes with which I was born, colors bled, turned to red; in my endless scorn. I found safety in hues of blue, royalty in the intrepid purples and golds, the heraldry of old. Alas, my word is not gold.

Yeah I took a vested interest as a comedian (not a sociopath) to understand what makes people tic, how to get a rise out of them, how to settle them, how to appeal to their ego and sensibilities
Some people find Legos a hobby but for me it was understanding how humans function. I've lied my way out of jail, I've talked myself into pussy, I've done a lot of shit. I don't believe in manipulation because more often than not people manipulate themselves. Only takes a few honeyed words, some encouragement, a lil gaslighting..~

I gaze upon a hidden store,
His books, his toys, the clothes he wore,
And cry, ‘Once more, to me, once more!
Then take, from me, this simple verse,
That you may know what I rehearse—
A grief – your and my Universe!
What is love, 'tis not hereafter,
Present mirth, hath present laughter:
What's to come, is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me sweet and twenty:
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
