The Pianist

2020 May 23, 2020

Inspired by Władysław Szpilman and Nazis

If you find compassion a distraction then you’re the force of darkness in action.

Inaction is an action of the coward’s dilemma whose life is a diorama of frozen fears – complacent tears crackin’ bears for forgetting years.

If crying makes me a pussy, I say I’m glad to squirt ‘n gush — you’ll never know contrast of pleasure if you squawk at pain so mush.
