Sometimes people say I need to expose more of my "true" self. Ha. I always AM my true self...maybe I'm just not going to give them access to the entire machine.

Still, they want to pry open my brain but all they'll find is the recipe for chicken salad.

Go ahead---saw apart my cranial passage, peer inside, dream awhile as you jot down the secret ingredients. Once you're done with my mind I'll fall asleep like the Raven evermore.

Me and EA Poe hanging out in the great fires below
The furnace that forever burns torturing billions of souls
There they are, dancing upon crimson coals
Was it really worth killing me for the promise of gold?

Ed. note: Insane have I become? Not yet. Just hungry. I think I'm going to eat some chips.
