Here we are born: The ill-prepared, The underwhelmed, A baby, Stillborn, Wondering after its feet, Watching moths commit suicide in their mission for a light. Given no ladder, given no rope, We pull ourselves up on rungs risking papercuts. Slick, sick, sliding, The war-torn machine of humanity seeks the sweet oil can only Consciousness can deliver. "Here lies the illustrious Michel Nostradamus," Asleep in a deep sepulcher not unknown to us all. "Awake and beat I am!" Only some fish make it upstream. I? I have finally found comfort, Dear ones. Words have no meaning (tub erutaretil seod).

"Here lies the illustrious Michel Nostradamus," Asleep in a deep sepulcher not unknown to us all. "Awake and beat I am!" Only some fish make it upstream. I? I have finally found comfort, Dear ones.
