re-creation of the self:

it's a complicated process:

there exists no manual, 
no code of conduct 
to assist one 
in this endeavor;
in other words, 
no one can save me 
but myself. 

it's a slow process:

witness 
the rise & fall 
of civilizations:

I'm a trouble maker 
on the outskirts 
of the empire.
I make my way 
slowly & simply.

can you give me
sanctuary? 

no. get your own.
