and i finsihed another paper. interposed with lucid daydreams was a mediocre statement of some eloquent interpretations of the 14th amendment and how it could possibly apply to the adoption rights of a gay couple. i don't know why i'm doing this. i know the problems of the world. but i don't know how i figure into a solution. i guess this is my best guess so far. legal work, writing at blather, poetry, mentoring at a local high school. like the law i suppose i move slowly from points all of me agrees on, slowly forcing myself to accept what logically follows, what likely follows, what should follow. in determining the rights of others, i hope to determine my own world. what it means to me, what it can mean when weighing the various views others assert with and against me. i ask for justice, i ask for justice for all, i must ask them what justice means for them as well. clearly there are disagreements, so what can i do but dispute the point, but point to my own existence, and their own existence and try to extrapolate from the overlap the principles that led to me, my philosophy, this poem or that poem. i only ask in advance that i am forgiven what failings my inability to make clear what needs to be made clear causes. but i will not shirk from what i can make clear.
