I am a vessel of desire So greedy as to want EVERYTHING. And, alas, how vain to strive for it. With desires in conflict I surely appear a flake, A creature whose habit is purely random. I wish to be restrained But, also to indulge. I insult fate In pursuit of immortality. Inevitably, the conflicts between my desires Cause me conflicts in relationships Where the objectionable acts of the other Reveal the only healthy resolution.
