Narcissus Nemo's Social Contract

Ethics for me are all-
important and secondary. 
They are essential, like toilet paper.

I can use my hand, 
but why?

I enjoyed the enjambment on all- but would have enjoyed it more if it pointed to a contrast instead of a synonym but that is probably just a personal preference

When I'm walking along or sitting around, sentences that have nothing to do with anything that's going on come into my mind. Sometimes I say them out loud.

Other times, there's a sensation of a pressure in my head, and that's how I feel a poem coming.

This one, I typed it, then broke it into lines and gave it a name.

Usually the name comes first.

And this is how I feel about ethics. I prefer to be a good person, if I am, incidentally. More of synchronistic ethics even than situational.
