Dammit all to hell, how do you work this fucking thing!? The light's blinking...does that mean it's on? Hello! Hello! Testing 1-2-3!

Can anyone hear me?? Okay, ummm... [ahem] This is Captain Grace P. Duckworth, of the Lady Icarus: Transmitting Live from Outer Space!

If a gal’s gonna blossom as an avatar to the 1,000 faced hero of adventures, no sense in keeping her sizzling beauty a secret!

Oh don't mind me. I’m just exercising my Universal Right to pretend my Swan Song is special, and that somehow I’m a unique-angel-princess-snowflake.

Through the sexy mystery of my fairy tale life, I’ve known many worlds, loved many Gods, & explored infinities above as below. All the while lured by this strange magnetism into a spiraling path of golden cosmic romance. Like a Moth to Flame, I am irresistibly drawn to the light @ my tunnel’s end.

Apollo’s Kiss.
The Sleeping Beauties Wake. Oh do please build me up Buttercup!

So goes this Maiden Girl’s metamorphic journey through unknown fantasy, dancing away my 7 veils, becoming as dream, Namu Eris.

mirror mirror in my mind, even Diana Ross was never this fine!

As Madonna, as Jezebel, as Ninja fucking Ballerina! I approach my chosen destiny. To seduce Ra with my Woman’s thunder roar, the old atomic bride routine.

GOD THE HEAT!

Everything’s beginning to melt, the sun can smell the conch sweat. It wants me. Star light star bright, the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, make fuck with the light tonight!

God it hurts so good!

I can’t look away, it’s burning away my eyes, I can’t look away, blinded by love! I see naught but chaos, feelin’ groovy.

God am I dying!?

I’m dissolving into nuclear fire, but I feel fine! Home. It feels like home. I don’t understand, remembering incomprehension, the meta-metaphor, I feel something out there, too big, telling me story, where we go when we…too big, maybe the Sun’s awake??? Holy Shit!

HELLO DARLING,

HAVE A NICE DAY.

WE ALL DREAM IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE!?!
