APOLOGY from this grownup child, born one out of three billion sponges ingesting the opposite assumptions of a dominant literary father and rebellious artistic mother, their marriage of desperate egos fueled by treachery and alcohol, each unconsciously acting out their bitter childhood dilemmas, and extending their family chaos, procreated this neurotic brew of blundering sexual instincts versus stumbling enlightenment as a crassly presumptuous husband, divorced for failure and neglect, an advocate for women's rights who vacillates on abortion, the leftwing peace marcher who supports the 2nd Amendment, the some-sort-of anarchist who opposes gay marriage, the schizoid personality that I and so many are. Thus my struggle for reality beyond this trap of predator planet Earth in its own Cosmic body.
