What hurt you?
Who?
Where is the primordial pain
that fuels all of these
ridiculous things that you always seem to do?

What has made you tick in this particular way?
Why do you say the things you say?

I’d like to know if I can.
I’m just that sort of curious kind of man.

If you can’t stop being the kind of thing you are
you’ll still remain more interesting by far
than anyone else I ever will chose to spar with;
and that’s the kind of thing I would swear on any old blazing star.
