knots it's a very funny poem in that it
does not it's so you have to unravel it
it's very strange book to read it's not
like any other book you'll read it's not
that long but I can sum up knots in a
few sentences basic premise of the book
not how a line is if all the good people
kill all the bad people there won't be
any people left because a good people of
the bad people are the bad people of the

identities is about identifying with
somebody else
I identified with people that are like
me but how much more they are like these
before I identify with them so initially
