Precision in emotion is impossible, yet emotion oxygenates the new manifesto. I seek exquisite action: the pursuit of rational goals along roads paved with feeling. I have had enough of thought that cannot translate itself into action; thought that might be prophetic and esoteric but is incomprehensible to the masses, and therefore useless in this age. A conversation with myself or my peers about what is possible does not convert me or them. Let me speak directly with the fisherman and the prostitute in their own language.

I do not want to change the world. I want to write and think and feel exquisitely. Changing the world is an incidental, inevitable consequence.
