What stayed with me was the idea that people do not always return to the same prisons because they failed to escape, but because the prison has become structurally familiar to the self. Beneath all the chaos, rage, and excess in the voice, there is a real question moving through the piece: how many times can a person survive themselves while still remaining psychologically identical? The line about β€œfresh body, ancient curses” carried the deepest weight for me because it understands that repetition is not always external circumstance. Sometimes it is identity rebuilding the same cage around itself again and again.

I forgot. I have a statement from the devil himself/herself that I believe will benefit you. After all it was Satan would made the environment and libraries in County jails. On passing I note the Lord of the Flies invented dinner theatre. Said opus appears in the post list of me, Schminkie. Or I could email it

Well the clock on the wall says time for the Knicks game
