Heteronomy

Autonomy and heteronomy;

We live as we dream*, uncontrollably.

The self misfires;

The other is part of the self;

Boxed in, torn boxes, flapping in the wind boxes;

The wind catches fire, and burns;

Rain falls, and makes us cold.

* "We live as we dream - alone." Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness.
