The Darkness Has Teeth...
I am on the verge of insanity knocking on the door of truth. The door opens and I find I’ve been knocking from the inside.
My name is...
Have you ever been to the realms of the qivittoq? Where the arsarnerit burns the Thulean skies. Floe and frazil. Auyuittoq! Welcome to the ice. Death is a misstep away.
My name is...unimportant.
“Am I living a shadow existence that only fools me into thinking it was real? I had a dream in which I was a butterfly, who had no awareness of my existence as a person. I'm now awake, but I wonder, was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?”

That Old Dance calls to me again
Pass the Gates of Ivory and Horn
Enter my Castle in Spain
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat, “We’re all mad here. I’m mad, you’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
(Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland)
Essence proceeds existence. Yet existence grants essence its form. A paradox. Substance begets form, but without form, substance is nothingness. A paradox. Sanity is enlightenment, a realization of the true nature of reality. To become truly enlightened, one must deny the reality forced upon oneself and create one's own.HA!Enlightenment, then, is MADNESS.
A dynamic psychosis.
Look! See the dweller beneath my mind!
The scales burn into my eye and slack the Peruvian flow...
Down! Down the rushing odor and douse the scraping grime...
Control. . . must stay in control. . .
Slurp and bestrew the score - beware its fragrant wigeon!Can you fester the buzz? Integer glory...
Must. . .not. . .let go. . .
I crumble the way...can you see?Prime! Verdant crack! Dark matter of the mind!
No. . .
It's voodoo, I tell you...that spotted snake...
“Come to life my second skin,
to protect the madness locked within”
(...my fingers touched the outstretched paws of the monster beneath the silver arch...touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass.)
“Look at me!! I am pilot error, I am fetal distress, I am the random chromosome... I am complete and total madness... I am fear...”I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.
I am aliquis mirablis.
I am a citizen not of any state or country, but of the world.
I am a fugitive from the prison that is my birthland. Madness or death is all that remains for me there.
I am a negative athiest, agnostic humanist, and devout hedonist.I am what I am. I do what I must.
“There’s a new world out there, waiting for us to touch it. I’ll give you the senses and open the door ... you just have to step in.”
“Come in! Come in! and
know me better man!”
