"One of us..."

I find it sort of funny

that this journey began with some loose ideas

about acceptance—finding inspiration

in the words of The Dude

and Dr. Frank-N-Furter—

and recognizing that successful communities,

full of good people,

could be built around failure.

(There is something about that

that speaks directly to my heart.)

At this, I began analyzing my life,

trying to understand

just what about me makes me feel good

(and wanting to join those communities, too)

watching those movies; trying to find

what it is that makes me part of the cult.

“New shit has come to light”:
“Don’t dream it—be it.”
“Gooble, gobble.”
