***************
Consciousness is a
concession to the boredom
of dead sensation
***************
Silence: the echo
of ennui, the sudden state
of eternity
***************
Democracy is
an imposter, the tyrant
as mad dream poet
***************
Civilization
is always preferable
to the tomb of God
***************
Paradise is a
distant enemy—a thorn
in my suffering
***************
The ambition to
sleep is thwarted by the fear
of killing oneself
***************
To speak in the name
of others is to butcher
sweet indifference
