    Mark Z. Danielewski
    “We're the unmended, the untended,
    cold soldiers of the shoe. We're the neglected,
    the never resurrected, agonies of the few.
    We're the once kissed, unmissed and always
    refused. Because we're the unfinished
    and feared and we're never pursued.

    And just that easily, on my behalf,
    I come around. Because I'm burning.
    The beast of War feeds only on the meats of War.
    And now I'm for carnage.
    Here's how my anguish frees.
    Destroy everyone of course. Because I'm unwanted
    and unsafe. And I'll take tears away with torments and rape,
    killings and fears not even the dead will escape.
    Encircling the Guilty, Ashamed, Blameless and
    Enslaved. Absolved. Butchering their prejudice.

    Patience. Their Value. Because I'm without value.
    I'm the coming of every holocaust. Turning no lost.
    Rending tissue, sinew and bone. Excepting no suffering.
    By me all levees will break. All silos heave.
    I will walk heavy.
    And I will walk strange.

    Because I am too soon.
    Because without Her, I am only revolutions
    Of ruin.

    Because I am too soon.
    Because without You, I am only revolutions
    Of ruin.

    I'm the prophecy prophecies pass.
    Why need dies at last.
    How oceans dry. Islands drown.
    And skies of salt crash to the ground.
    I turn the powerful. Defy the weak.
    Only grass grows down abandoned streets.

    For a greater economy shall follow Us
    and it will be undone.
    And a greater autonomy shall follow Us
    and it too will be undone.
    And a greater feeling shall follow Love
    and it too we will blow to dust.
    For I am longings without trust. The cycloidal haste
    freedom from Hailey forever wastes.
    Dust cares for only dust.
    And time only for Us.

    Because I am too soon.
    Because without Her, I am only revolutions
    Of ruin.

    Because I am too soon.
    Because without You, I am only revolutions
    Of ruin.

    We are always sixteen...”
    Mark Z. Danielewski, Only Revolutions

    Mark Z. Danielewski
    “Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.”
    Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

    Oscar Wilde
    “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
    Oscar Wilde
