I have been thinking about life’s meaning and its relation to obsessions.
The pendulum swings from stalking to passionate collector; murder to magnificence.

Obsession
channeled intelligently
begets beauty.

So I bought perfume today,
A Calvin-Klein-scented life.

As scent flowers my skin,
Dull, grey fear will disappear.

Calvin, have you met John Keats?

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” – that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
