the death of self, exhaled, borne upon wafts of air, and I, with my self-conscious prose and pretensions of intellectualism, and I, dreaded I - there is a beauty in ideology; even wastrelism, being the muck of the earth and much reviled by Proper Gentlemen, has its allure and adherents those disciples of Dionysus, bacchanalia becoming banal by sheer repetition: ***** ***** ***** shotgunned beers, and then- TEQUIIIILA!! crowed at the top of their lungs, memory expunged by hepatic-processed organic compounds. of course, these mannerisms are simply beneath you, disdainfully catalogued by keen eyes: no, your form of forgettance is much more forceful, much less fanciful and romanticized: your amnesia is absolute, it required nothing less than total dedication, mortification, death of self as you expatiated lusts, loves, aught but ambitions remain, and now, you have triumphed: you stand solitary, skyscrapers shining for your personal pleasure, yet you can find, none.
