well, i was going to post something about how self-absorbed i am…but that’s the only thing i could think to say about the matter, and i’m not sure what that means. here’s a poem:

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter – bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.”

-stephen crane (1871-1900)
