Just me and my nuts, that's all I got in this world.
I was an accomplice in my own frustration.
He'll be delivered from madness. What then? He'll feel himself acceptable! What then? Do you think feelings like his can be simply re-attached, like plasters? Stuck on to other objects we select?

All reined up in old language and old assumptions, straining to jump clean-hoofed on to a whole new track of being I only suspect is there.

I tried not to write about the O. J. Simpson case too much because so much has already been said about it, but there are a lot of questions left worth asking. However, the case is very useful to illustrate other points.

In itself, there aren't that many questions about it that remain unanswered.
