“I decide what I am,
and I decide the parameters of what I am -
for example, I can be a monk and still fall in love,
just like, I can be a muslim poet,
and still consider the koran to be flawed -

I can be a theologian of any faith, and consider
all the scriptures to be a mix of good and bad -
my mind is the measure, not convention;
life is my constitution, not tradition.

This is how I created whatever I've created,
not in defiance of convention, but indifference -
I built my universe, aloof from foolish fractures,
to men of ritual it's a terrible sacrilege.”
