    Pausing in between the cathedral and the institution:
    I had filled the exact spot of my revelation,
    My former belief of my brilliance.
    Recalling my old powder essay for a moment,
    but it is back there in the scholarly roads of Athens
    and I am supposed to be in.

    I take a shifty step outside of my monument
    Lest I be shot
    Lest I be taken
    Mistaken, and on through the institution
    I would be seen as a troublemaker.

    Yes, there's nothing I can do
    Wandering around in this unrealized ceramic.
    Nothing I churn out these days is quality,
    they do not tell stories of the monkey's conquest of the Gods
    they do not have holes to hold tea.
    I make nickels that are politically correct,
    it doesn't seem angelic.

    Righteousness, nobility
    I close my eyes until passed into the institution.
    I rotate my old mug to read the full text:
    "I have been filled with brilliance".

    Old, old, old.
    You cannot just turn on the machine.

    Yet it will be easiest if you do not go mad -
    It will be easiest to not be driven
    by your personal visions.
