      The only way that I can think is through the mind of another; and even then, I cannot even incorporate a single ounce of myself into the thought that it spills as bile out of my mouth and from my pen without a trace of originality.
      As youth, before the rigor of structure and reality, we think so pleasantly, so complexly, so blissfully and unashamedly. And I can think, yes, what I think of this is true. Is it not profound, especially in the tone of my own tongue?
      But how terribly banal all of this is. I ramble pointlessly in my juvenile perspective.
      This is the matter, put most obviously and candidly: Young body, wise mind; aged body, stupid mind.
      If I knew how
      I could say more about this, but that is all there is to it.
      Nothing more.
