But I
Have tamed
Myself
I have stomped
On the throat
Of my own song
-Vladimir Mayakovsky
I am going to crucify the romanticism of my frivolity. I am going to make some damn decisions. This is the means by which I am going to sanctify myself; in which I will profit the world. In my one last act of poetic inanity I shall sacrifice myself for the benefit of humanity. (For it is only in these hazy dream-states of exhaustion that I can make definite decisions, and I have made my own decision. I have tamed myself. I have stomped on the throat of my own song.)
