A brief conversation

Biographical background facts about King Dostoevsky removed him from his throne to me
The lord of existentialism and that psychological bent on the human condition
has become human all too human to see

When it’s ripped away, I can often pray at the meagre product of his times that they’ve chronicled

Do I wish a fastidious plague upon myself?
