pride: a strange and perverse creature.
soft as the dishonest jellyfish, poison, near invisible.
and yet fearless in the way that only the very perverse are.
eaten up by carpish modesty,
i am ashamed to admit its boneless squirming satisfaction;
on the dry linoleum of my history it has no place

You know, both you and I have spent so long lamenting our respective prideful natures . . . but without them, where would we be? Rather, who would we be? I suppose that without pride, independence is a very hard virtue to obtain.

Traits get bad when they are manifested to excess, though, and I think that both you and I might have a wee lil' problem there . . .

I beg to differ. Your respective aires are quite refreshing and uplifting at the same time.
