AI Interpretation
The page insists that love keeps thinking through the speaker even while anger at `theaves`, holy violence, and personal hurt remain unresolved.
With the OCR garbage removed, the severity is clearer. The page links love, injury, and a claim about holy violence without smoothing the source misspellings that give it its rough typed surface.
A short, severe credo that ties love to injury. Love is not contained by the self - 'Love dosen't stop with me / I think with it' - and coexists with unresolved anger: 'I stay pissed at theaves.' The poem's hard claim is that some 'violence / that is holy' lies beyond changing 'Evem if your the one / that got hurt.' The source misspellings ('dosen't,' 'theaves,' 'Evem') keep its rough typed surface intact.
