Planeten Du er Svevende, Universets Ekspansjon

Anerkjennelsen.
Anerkjennelsen av seg selv som et seksuelt vesen.
Anerkjennelsen av seg selv som strevende etter selverkjennelse.
Anerkjennelse av seg selv som strevende etter anerkjennelse.
Anerkjennelsens anerkjennelse.
Ærlighet.
Ærlighet ovenfor seg selv.
Ærlighet nok til å anerkjenne anerkjennelsens anerkjennelse.
Det er anerkjennelse.
Det og bare det.

Planeten.
Planeten du er på.
Alene.
Planetene der borte.
Befolket av ikke ensomme mennesker.
Men din planet beveger seg vekk fra de andre.
Det eneste som kan reversere det uendelig ekspanderende endelige univers er
at du jobber på Rimi og liker det.

Men jeg har jo venner/kjæreste/jobb/er sosial/trivelig/1.85/slank/trent/bereist/utdannet?
