Consciousness itself might not be a
curse, but consciousness
of consciousness is a recipe for
disaster, a matryoshka doll of
ever diminishing returns, like a plastic
bag of plastic bags
filled with dog shit in a city intent on
digesting itself--like
holding up a mirror to the back of your
head in front of a
mirror to see what others see from that
dispersonal angle. And
why do they come in rainbow array when
shit's just one color?
(More or less, of course. There have been
notable exceptions,
like that time I committed to sculpt my
own fecal matter but
kept putting it off for obvious reasons,
only to pass pale white
ghost poo as deadline approached, so
terrified that I quickly
flushed it down but next one turned out reassuring brown.)
