By Alexander Clark
A man alone is no man at all,
Neither rich nor poor,
Sad nor sane,
Bounded only
By whatever sense his world makes.
A society of one,
Is by definition
An autocracy.
Events tell tales,
Interaction accords recordings.
Engagement becomes necessary
If everything isn’t to be made up.
Solipsistic self saturation occasionally serves as solace
If everything isn’t to be made up,
Engagement becomes necessary.
Interaction accords recording.
Events tell tales.
An autocracy,
Is by definition,
A society of one
By whatever sense his world makes
Bounded.
Sad or sane,
Rich or poor,
A man alone is no man at all.
