Part I · The High School Era (1992–1996)
I watch Sun’s fire die,
See Moon swallowed whole.
Like a black snake it approaches me,
Hungry for my soul.
I stand alone at the top of the peak
Awaiting absolute negation.
I arm myself with a rediscovered weapon:
Mental integration.
Denying correlation, Paradox confronts me.
Defying comprehension, I cannot see.
A black hole of two wholes, A and B now made C,
Is this nothing from which nothing can be set free.
Like Sun and Moon
We unite.
Paradox dark,
Myself light.
My fingers grow numb,
My eyes go blind–
What is happening
To my body and mind…!?
