I tried to read the text
& it was like pulling teeth_
reason bored me to the tears
expected to be held back^
I longed to find simplicity
& joy simultaneously
but the words
contradicted both^
& so I* decided that
Marcus Aurelius
is not for me_ too much guilt
in the {NOT} reading^
I make a fair minimalist_
but I* a bad stoic
& have returned
to more important reading_
the poetry of Jim Carroll^
