From “Known Unknown” a collection of poetry and short stories – “Sir Isaac Newton Died a Virgin”

~ It’s an odd feeling wanting to be understood in an intimate way but at the same time wanting the freedom of being a mystery. Thus, here you have my words, but not my face.

Sir Isaac Newton died a virgin

Sir Isaac Newton died a virgin. 

Nikola Tesla loved pigeons more than he could love a person. 

Being 30 and still being a virgin makes you a wizard. 

Being 40 makes you a sage. 

Joan of Arc was executed at age 19. 

Church figures questioned whether she had really received messages from God, 

They checked to see if she was “intact”. (She was) 

Kant didn’t see any societal benefit to getting laid.

That said: Bro, I don’t know why you seem so intent on me getting some,

But I’m not sleeping with your cousin!

I don’t care how hot she is!

If you think she’s so hot, sleep with her yourself!
