And so here it is: My secrets, my fortune! The untold treasure harbored within my mind-- impeccable wisdom, and tormented genius!
I come to find illumination and write poems-- in such a fashion as this:
It is I, with heart on my sleeve where I cough and sneeze, becoming mired and virulent-- utterly human and fraught for the world to see.
The magician who empties his sleeves, overturns his top hat, shying off his smooth pallid gloves!
Lies down on stage, in a pool of my own blood and *****, retching, trembling, aching,
gasping for air roasting under an inquisitive lonely spotlight I stare into with a distant and longing gaze--
Eyes vacuous, bulbous in sick contortion bulging veins popping cracked lips gaping mouth tongue waggling speaking in tongues choking air and body trembling in hideous convulsions--
for what benefit have I, to purport and distort myself in such a fashion?
It is for the sake of humanity, in the flagellation of the human conscience as it queries further into the ambiguous amorphous impalpable dark matter of the universe--
it is for our sake, our illumination, that I retch, and I ache.
