I
am Exhibit A:
I make the case
for myself
and against myself
every day.
I make the case
for love
and against love.
I make the case
for joy
and despair,
for truth
and lies,
for reason
and against reason
for passion
and against passion,
for flesh
and for spirit,
for God
and against God.
It's not a trial
there's no defendant
or prosecutor,
no judge
no jury
and no law
there's just
Exhibit A
and a case made
every day
for and against
for and against
for and against.

Well done! I always thought this was the definition of a liberal: the ability to see both sides of every issue. It is certainly the hallmark of a man of great sensitivity.
You may be right Kelp, but being for and against 'oneself' is pretty maddening. So back to Bukowski for a second, he may have a certain point that if you're not completely mad in this life, you have no soul.
