Love Thy Host
Placing a name
has become very very hard
What is this monolith?
Walk around
inspect
It’s hard
tangible
but breakable
Every time it sears
it cures
Black onto white, white onto black
something of a reversible nature
Note
the veins
Note their mechanical order
flowing in
flowing out
Breathing, sweating, dizziness
just some symptoms
close contact
much worse
so much worse
What is this?
How can something feel so good and wrong
Practice
self
control
Rationalize
irrational
behavior
Stop fearing
love the chase
love the cat and mouse
kill the rat
Still
I will never feel like this again
understatement
I want to feel like this again
What has this monolith done to me?
