Style: Boxer briefs. Color: Red with white stripes.
Surrounded by warmth, chilled and numb.
Cracked, worn, and callused. Refreshed.
The stinging, tingling rush of blood.
Pressure. Perpetual and vicious pressure.
Repress. Suffocate. Press on.

Gravity grasps the linings of existence.
It is relentless; obstinate; indiscriminate.
It seeks to enslave the soul.
It seeks to dominate the spirit.
It seeks.
It seeks.
It seeks.
Silence. Obedience. Conformance.

Do not conform. Countervail. Resist.
Scorch the Earth in the wake of freedom.
Drag the torch and writhe the flames of knowledge.
Scream. Scream. Scream.
Scream. Scream. Scream.
Deafen the ears of the unhearing and non-listening.
Project pain. Project fear. Project hope.

Relent. Breathe. Breathe.
Revel in the destruction wrought.
Destruction.
Destruction.
Deconstruction.

Then wake.
Look upon life.
Life looks on.
