If you want to change the world, if you really care,
Put a circle in the square.*

prison is like a dream with very strict rules they pull you in and hold you against your will you're always
bumping up
against the walls the borders the bars but inside those dreamwalls this is where your real genius can show
this is where
the freud ape of your subconscious gets up and stomps around naked etc.
— Francis Figurski, Constrained Utopia
(unpublished ms., entry 032, 1993)
