The Less You Acknowledge
The less you acknowledge the other in the self,
the more you will struggle to contend with the other in society.

It is better to make your abstractions concrete
than to make your concretions abstract.

After I have made you out of assumption,
I wait for you to rise via self-assertion.

It's not an obligation.
But it's a consideration.

Punctuation is not the only punctuation.
Rhyme is not the only rhyme.

I will sign what I have singed.*
*But with a footnote.

It's not the failure that damns you,
it's the lack of effort.
