self consciousness roams in the deserts of eden,
a mirage of nothingness in paradise
self consciousness preserves what is human,
and sacrifices the divine
self consciousness makes borders in piles of sand, and makes things into objects,
and expands through contraction
self consciousness gives me life but blinds me to reality
self consciousness resembles a spider’s web,
a shadow of stability and comfort –
a prison in the shape of an oasis
self consciousness is a television next to a mountain stream…
self consciousness is God’s desire to dream
