“DEAR DIARY You are greater than the Bible And the Conference of the Birds And the Upanishads All put together You are more severe Than the Scriptures And Hammurabi’s Code More dangerous than Luther’s paper Nailed to the Cathedral door You are sweeter Than the Song of Songs Mightier by far Than the Epic of Gilgamesh And braver Than the Sagas of Iceland I bow my head in gratitude To the ones who give their lives To keep the secret The daily secret Under lock and key Dear Diary I mean no disrespect But you are more sublime Than any Sacred Text Sometimes just a list Of my events Is holier than the Bill of Rights And more intense”
