The Imperious B.E.V.

About Me

Vain as the day is long, spilling into the inky abyss of night like a blackhole where light goes in but none comes out.My early erotic emanations were manifested as rapturous hours spent locked in front of a looking glass. I abated my daily hunger with passing glances in storefront windows and the occassional motionless wading pool. A memory harbour of numberless delights... exquisite; divine. My thirst... my lust 'til this day still abounds.Never loved Elvis.The Beatles, like jesus, were always just allright.My heart resides in the peninsula of the Yucatan where I first sprung to life thru the miracle of childbirth. A miracle that had none the less taken place hundrdeds of billions of times before my momentous arrival. I took my first steps in a town where Beautifully foolish, bronze young men would plunge to their well-timed deaths on the rocks below; tide after tide... time and again. My black heart came to know the inevitable, came into disparate conciousness in this most idyllic of settings with the most temperate of climes.This is now and that was then. Having tumbled from the grace of the Pantheon and short of much glory see what's become of me...I am everything you think you are. Loved. Admired. Eloquent. Passionate. I am alive and you are dead wrong.I am everything you say I am. Reviled. Without. A curse. Most likely doomed. Unwholesome. Totally unacceptable.I am a mirror. Constantly revising your brittle conceptions. As long as you are near me you are in imminent danger. I am liable to say anything. Anything could happen while I'm around and you would'nt want that to happen, now would you?
