Or Nightmare?

I collect faces as if they were sweet metaphysical breadcrumbs Artistic avarice: I become fat with their images along the way Yet still it is not enough simply to divine out their souls for presentation I must constantly transcend the growing amalgam of identity Push away the ego as if it were a salivating lover trying to lick my ear Should I be forced to continue to exist as an object? Very well then I choose to be symbols of my own machination Living inside organisms of meaning as a cold hunter sheltered in the bleeding guts of a bear

My momentum is slimly, slow, but it oozes into every crack and crevice Shall I be lucifer? It depends on how you define rebellion Should I settle one day, like a bee to a flower? Again, it depends on how much there is to suck out
