Tell me I'm not the only one who's a goner,

with controversial thoughts of the presence of

pure goodness within the most contemptible.

Tell me it doesn't seem so preposterous

that the greatest revolters could,

in some way, feel remorse.

Tell me that there at least might be

a glint of goodness in people

if you attempted to flounder them back and forth in your mind,

until everything repugnant, artless, and coarse fell away.

Tell me that maybe then a constellation may form

at the bottom of the pit,

a rare element ambushed in exposed bedrock,

that will be washed by a fiery storm upstream.
