III. Supreme Measure of Social Protection
1
Do what is meaningful, not what is easy.
 Images of the unique, the beautiful, the inspiring,
 dreamed, hated, loved,
 exalted — all merged into one.
Since childhood I saw myself at once
 as Luffy and as Sanji.
 In Command and Conquer I always played
 only for the GDI.
Your smile melts my heart,
 a trigger like a cigarette on a black-and-white movie screen.
 I feel ashamed sometimes
 for working poorly — but maybe that’s okay.
Want to — let’s leave somewhere
 again, for good, overseas, for long?
 Most of all I want to come to you and lie beside you,
 knowing we have an enormous tomorrow.
2
And the only way out then,
 in those cold, gray winter days,
 was only the supreme measure of social protection
 toward myself. In short — I came to the edge,
beyond which was either stoicism or suicide.
 But I overcame it,
 because I met you and chose a third path.
 In your voice and movement glinted
the unceremoniousness of youth.
 Society thinks it’s bad,
 not to be a stereotypical man.
 And in some way it’s right. Where is the border?
When you can no longer
 quietly weep with a prayer in the night,
 and only warmth and healed scars remain —
 into a new bright, joyful, complicated life.
