There's that poetic, Hoelderlin stuff noch ein mal. Makes no sense to me. If
your uninvited insecurities are shown the door in the morning, why would you
invite them back into your home in the afternoon? You should phone the police
and have them arrested for loitering, I would think. Or are our insecurities
somehow important to us and we dare not let them stray too far? As if we
wouldn't be the persons we were without them and we don't dare be a different
version of ourselves? Must run ... somebody knocking at the front porch door.
