[violant-apologia]

for briar: you write poetry but don't seem the Bohemian Lifestyle type, so what do you think of the bohemians?? what do they think of you?

"A lot of them like my works. I get letters upon letters from fresh-faced poets trying to glean my secrets. But others... On the occasion that I put something out, they dismiss it. I have 'ulterior motives'. Can something not be both a political gambit and a work of art?"

Briar shuts his eyes and sighs. "I envy them, you know? To be in a position where you can strive for such artistic purity. They may be a bunch of layabout do-nothings, but at least they can create what they want, when they want. I miss that, sometimes."
