+I am a great pillar of [white smoke][].  \
+I am Lot's nameless wife encased in salt.  \
+I am the wound on Christ's back as he moans \
+with the pounding of a hammer on his wrist.  \
+I am the nail that holds my house together.  \
+It is a strong house, built on a good foundation.  \
+In the winter, it is warm and crawling things \
+cannot get in.  This house will never burn down.  \
+It is the house that I built, with my body \
+and with my strength.  I am the only one who lives \
+here.  I am both father and mother to a race \
+of dust motes that worship me as a god.  I have \
+monuments built daily in my honor in dark \
+corners around the house.  I destroy all of them \
+before I go to bed, but in the morning \
+there are still more.  I don't think I know \
+where all of them are.  I [don't think][not think] I can get \
+to all of them anymore.  There are too many.
