Universal Knowledge MAG
April 3, 2016
I am a plant
With the good and green ambition
To live like art in a museum
Untouched, out of adoration
I am the moon
With my depth and my light
Listen to my siren song
The call of velvet insight
I am birthday cake
When the wax cries
Sun-flash of the camera
Looks at me with wide eyes
I see the galaxies in the mirror
Every morning I volunteer her
To be the plant, the moon, the birthday cake
I am she, I am awake
I cannot live without this knowledge
that I contain all things
and I am the universe.

Extremely interesting POV. It's simultaneously godlike and very abstract. Your phrasing is uber cool - "I am the birthday cake/ when the wax cries"? /So/ good.
