Surreptitious Student of Life
"A true poet does not bother to be poetical,
Nor does a nursery gardener perfume his roses."
Jean Cocteau
You are a surreptitious
C student of life
first thing hummer of Nietzsche
emotional alien
suicidal bug
Yellow Peril: neo-American
way over your head
in love and fiction
self-overrated
Mama's boy
sentimentalist
inveterately romantic
stranger in strange land
forever
lonely
yet always
trust the thrust of your heart's desires
and hanker
after
Peace
