From the Vault: i am crazy
i
am
crazy
i was born in diana’s tide
with a caul over my third eye
and my umbilical cord around my neck
i was wet
like the forests of the hesperides
i inhaled and swallowed neptune’s froth
drunk with his children, i envisioned our love
underwater
an octopus crowning your head
we became one
i am touched in the head
i grew to the age of twenty-one
in as many seconds
ejaculating myself from the tide pool,
i exhaled and created you
one sliver of my thoughts yielded you
this is why i own you
i must be psycho
because i followed my visions of sameness
and conquered my fears to be with
me
you are me
because you are crazy
if we were to join, we would not cancel out
but multiply like crabs on the ocean floor
i would kill your thoughts
before i kill myself
wipe your slate clean and re-assimilate you
into my collective
i am loco
because i had a vibe
a premonition
a feeling that things were right again
but again comes the pain
look in the shallow mirror of narcissus
and see me
you cannot live without me
you are dead
you are a zombie
you cannot tame me
i own you
i am insane
because life is a plane
infinitely expanding
and you can run
but you cannot jump into the next dimension
because i created you to be inferior
i am your god
you are god-fearing
you are mortal
when i kill you
i – me – insanity
lives on
insanity is reality
your fantasy is your fallacy
i am your prophet
i am your commandment:
pray that i decide to turn back the hands of time
because i pimp the fates
i am the sheep from which they gather the wool
that they spin to thread
i hold your soul in my hand
this is why you run from me
you jump
but five brown pillars stop you
i can swallow you whole
and pass you through my system
you are more perfect as my shit
i am your last lost marble and your loosest screw
i am your garden of eden and your armageddon
i am your evil genius
i
am
you
