Academics is definitely not a business for bleeding hearts. So scary to stand where the high-and-mighty of modern civic society meet everyday to purge their minds of fallacy and fault. Clean,neat and surgical; eager to stem the blood. Precision and focus, all brilliantly orchestrated to come together in the ever pleasing crescendo of truth, beauty and coherence. God bless them all.

I came so far for beauty I left so much behind
My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye.

Happy Birthday Leo
