with perfect sweetness
"what i must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. this rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. it is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. it is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." /ralph waldo emerson, "self-reliance"

- let men know
- are you all so frightened?
- the oozy weeds about me twist
- i learned a lot
- army dreamers
- permission to explode
- hearing with the melody
- two ears and a heart
- them's my sentiments.
- what makes life
- i have tried
- the holiness of the heart's affections
- you are the music
- gilded and sticky
- so sweet
- once more upon the waters
- whoever fights monsters
- it gets better
- eternity's sunrise
- the last movement
- when time is broke
- extraordinary in the ordinary
- he who sings
- the amplitude of time
- with perfect sweetness
- crude rhythms for bears
