Q: Who is this finite jester; and what does he want?

a: who? ha! far too complicated.

what does he want....
i could dig one of two scenarios.

I- relatively stable life; teaching, steady money, nothing crazy... but i need; a woman to love, books to read, and the opportunity to spout gibberish towards a peer group that can grok said gibberish and laugh as we watch the world slide down into- well, whatever it is we're slidin' into.

II- being at least partially responsible for deviation from aforementioned (albeit vaguely) end of option I, with the proviso that said end, should it be definitively defined... is really, really awful.
