in the morning
ill wake up n walk
feel the cold fill every atom
ascending, looking
to see if plants are growing
to wander free for a moment
to see how much sun it takes to burn
when the underground is home
and then ill go back to bed
and then ill go to work
and then ill go back to bed
and then ill go to work
and you will laugh with me
and you will never know me
just like i will never know you
but neither of us will know the difference
i, i, i

- "Seeing that before long I must confront humanity with the most difficult demand ever made of it, it seems indispensable to me to say who I am. Really, one should know it, for I have not left myself "without testimony." But the disproportion between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contemporaries has found expression in the fact that one has neither heard nor even seen me. I live on my own credit; is it perhaps a mere prejudice that I live? ... I need only to speak with one of the "educated" who come to the Upper Engadine for the summer, and I am convinced that I do not live ... Under these circumstances I have a duty against which my habits, even more the pride of my instincts, revolt at bottom, namely, to say: Hear me! For I am such and such a person. Above all, do not mistake me for someone else!" - Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
