"hell is where
all hope is banished"
as I wrote this
in the margin of an article
which playfully explored
Leibniz, Voltaire and Maupertius
in a land
far far away from
any family I had
be it my own
or my own chosing
I realize that
hell is not a fate
but also one´s own chosing.
I may be living in someone´s
best of all possible worlds
but it is not my own.
