“CHORUS OF NIGHT VOICES
Come out, come out, wherever you are, you dreamers and drowners, you loafers and losers, you shadow-seekers and orphans of the sun. Come out, come out, you flops and fizzler, you good-for-nothings and down-and-outers, a day's outcasts, dark's little darlin's. Come on, all you who are misbegotten and woebegone, all you with black thoughts and red-fever-visions, come on, you small-town Ishmaels with your sad blue eyes, you plain Janes and hard-luck guys, come, you gripers and groaners, you goners and loners, you sad sack and shlemiels, come on, come on, you pale romantics and pie-eye Palookas, you has-beens and never-will-bes, you sun-mocked and day-doomed denizens of the dar: come out into the night.”

“Chosen by Choice (The Sonnet)
Choose yourself by yourself,
Be the chosen by choice.
Nobody's gonna come to choose you,
Without any self-interest.
Nobody's gonna pop out of fiction,
And choose you to lift the world.
The world is your family,
You are their self-determined vanguard
You are the chooser, you are the choice,
You alone are the divine intervention.
One who is responsible is also divine,
What is indifferent is simply damnation.
Choose yourself as the world's defender.
There's no greater defender than an unbent lover.”
