After spending so much time trying to fend off living vicariously, I've decided that in certain circumstances, it's the best thing to do. There is much to be said for the liberty of speaking without the shackles of semantics.

More and more, the island was becoming an exact model of his head… Identifying the island with himself, he gazed at the cars in the breaker’s yard, at the wire-mesh fence, and the concrete caisson behind him. These places of pain and ordeal were now confused with pieces of his body.

I am the island.
J.G. Ballard

To be held by his mind,
To stagger back through the empty streets
To tumble through his head.
To leave a man for dead.
