...and Yet I Am What

To Hell With Being Ashamed Of What You Liked.

When American Life Is Most American It Is Apt To Be Most Theatrical.

I Was Looking For Myself And Asking Everyone Except Myself Questions Which I, And Only I, Could Answer.

If You Can Show Me How I Can Cling To That Which Is Real To Me, While Teaching Me A Way Into The Larger Society, Then And Only Then Will I Drop My Defenses And Hostility, And I Will Sing Your Praises And Help You To Make The Desert Bear Fruit.

I Denounce Because Though Implicated And Partially Responsible, I Have Been Hurt To The Point Of Abysmal Pain, Hurt To The Point Of Invisibility. And I Defend Because In Spite Of It All, I Find That I Love.
