Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
...Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
By itself
-Jars of Clay, Good Monsters
So foolish,
and ignorant: I am before thee [as] was a monster.
-Psalm 73:22
I
decided to read Baudelaire.
But
I got offended by the very first poem:
‘You,
hypocrite reader, resembling me, my brother’
Mon semblable, Mon frère
- It
almost smothered me even before I was done.
The
ease came, no doubt,
after my three year old daughter
showed
me how to draw a monster face
- The
distorted parts rightly joined together.
