"His venom lasts, weighing on my Song of Solomon heart and fastidious mind, but blessing me, just the same, with a new awareness of a keenly unfavorable consciousness. That is to say, I have realized what it is to live in Sin, a word I use to describe misery, for the lack of a better term. It is as if all people, all of us, the man sitting next to you, the little girl creating bubbles from her magical solution concealed in a polyurethane ‘lamp,’ the madman singing and chanting “amen” with the rest of the madmen, the woman pleasuring herself at her office desk- all of you, and all of them, are walking, eyes closed, in a gaseous world, that gas being our ignorance, and our eyes shut while we thrive in an ecstasy that only God should know. I do not like being here, but I particularly hold a dreadful disdain for being one of the few to know that we are here- inhaling a thick lie- wading through any and everything unknowingly.
