"We define free will as the ability of a person to learn their own secrets" - Phil Daian

our blood beats forth
another way of speaking
about all this, brother.

here are collected the specific stories
of one life as i live it.
i'm not trying to say anything other
than this.

i want you to know what it means to me
that we grew up together,
and that we are who we are.
i love you dearly.

also (i can't resist),
you spelt nietzsche wrong in our wedding card
and i love you all the more,
for it somehow illuminates the truth you shared
with even greater delight.
