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.)
