Self-cleaning

Remove cartridge containing self.
Wash away grime, dust and stench from years of overuse.
Vacuum.
Reinsert for improved identity.

idiot = "idios" = "by oneself"

Seem like I'm only ever in one of two situations:
A. I hate where I am---it's crowded, I'm out of my element, I feel like I'll be unmasked as a fraud at any time. Or:
B. I'm by myself---and comfortable.

A. I'm making progress. I'm meeting people and/or strengthening existing relationships.
B. I don't have to prove anything. No one sees me. I'm safe. And stagnating.

It's one thing to (A) be afraid and another to (B) give in to fear.

In B, I have the time & space to write, but it's only during A that I'm inspired.

Prison Sentence

...descend, descendants, transcend, transcendence...
This sentence has sentience.
(and it says)
"Why have I been given life? What could I possibly say in four words, nine letters? How can I encompass the entirety of experience? What little can I do? Was I created for a purpose? How do I achieve that purpose? Could I do more than what I was created to do? What if I can't?"
"How do I live on? How do I perpetuate myself? How do I work my way into the hearts of my audience? Is anybody reading me? Do they like me? How can I respond?"
"I am just one sentence."

We all live out our sentences.
Self-contained. Unchanging.
Unable to respond.
But if you want to know this sentence,
type it & it's yours!
