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.
