Moran
Remnants of a pensum
A work which will subsist
Finality without end
Images of that kind the will cannot revive
Dispossessed of self
The unnamable
What if we were one and the same after all
There is no pronoun for me
I have a pensum to discharge
I'm all these words
I am doing my best and failing : new thoughts about art and the artist
Gogo and Didi, Hamm and Clov
In a cage out of time and space
In a single night
You pollute the air
Is it not time for my pain-killer?
This is not boring you I hope
Why will you never let me sleep?
Old endgame lost of old
The form of life is the endless present
Since that's the way we're playing it, let's play it that way
Schopenhauer made use of
Schopenhauer altered
Schopenhauer left behind.
