I propose every pre-existing value to myself, and I embody it. I surge every thought towards it, I commit every diasporic cell to it. I cradle, and I brood and dwell on it for years, until I can find no other reality to contest it. I become narrow and hollow. I hiss at every attempt to eclipse my flaring sun of reality. I become The Bitter Man. I will love nothing more than to project my bitterness unto others until I am alone; Manifest Destiny. Until I fully epitomize the number 1, I will not relent. I will churn myself into powder over thousands of miles of burnt asphalt and sips of coffee until I sit beneath chrysalis skies, in gravel ditches not inspired to even look up. Sit up, sight & repeat. I will continue on this wheel of values until every value is impotent *And total freedom will ensue.
