STAR**** **OOP**S: A Surreal Space Poetry Project – Page 21
I never intended
the disgrace
late in my years.
Thinking, I suppose,
Of the idea.
Then It…
Had not It,
With dead seriousness,
Done everything…?
The idea of an ideology being blamed for someone’s actions is interesting to me. Taking the idea of citizenship one more step further into abstraction than limiting it to humans and corporations. And the words to make a poem about it were just lying around on the page..
Would rather be out swimming, running, or camping. Works in state government. Spent a youth reading genre-fiction; today, he is making up for it by reading large quantities of non-fiction literature. The fact that truth, in every way, is more fascinating than fiction still tickles him.

I don’t believe in free will as strongly as most. I think a lot of the things we do are preprogrammed by society and culture and what those around us have supposed before us. We live by example, like very complicated parrots with souls, but our souls are not nearly as influential as we’d like to believe. I don’t blame other people for making what I think are bad decisions. I’ve never walked in their shoes and I don’t know what motivates them. All I can do is try to use my own perspective to help them change if I think they should, or me change if I think I should. That’s my soul acting against the current.
