En Attendant Someone Who Cares.

Is there anybody out there...there...there?

I am an aesthetic stuck in a repetition and compulsion cycle.
I am an ethicist wearing the mask
I am-- (*the black curtain falls*)

The tao that can be known is not the tao.

Bull. I like the reference to Kierkegaard in "Marginalia" by Billy Collins.

I am twiddling my thumbs under a willow tree. Where are the leaves? It must be dead. No More Weeping.

No More Kings - "Sweep the Leg"

Jack White talks about Nickolai Tesla on "Coffee and Cigarettes"

Jeez, can't I write without being super-referential? I am tempted to erase all of this. I haven't said anything original until this self indictment. Now, as reparation, i will give you a poem.

Contrabass Clarinet:
It's the biggest of the set,
Like an evil, tarnished drainpipe
Clinging to Dracula's castle wall,
With the sound of lightsaber swipe.
Honk that pagan bass all
Night -- Long

Apparently, you can't write anything original. ;). Just kidding!
