I admit he is my role -| model. He's so current, so fresh and so new, -| and Michelangelo is so old, his art so dated. -| Where is the love in those old paintings? All -| I see is [creation][], [judgment][], and [death][]--- - -| and I don't get the preoccupation with death. -| I'm about life! Ever since my sixteenth -| birthday, when me and my two sisters all -| nearly died when the car I was driving rolled -| into a creek. Even though I've [forgotten the date][], -| I think it keeps me thinking on the new, - -| something Biebs would be proud of if he knew. -| I look at him, and see the [opposite of death][] -| in his eyes, his youthful smile: though someday -| he may [be a father][], and later host a Sweet Sixteen -| for his daughter (for whom I know he'll buy a Rolls), -| death will never find him. Living will be all - -| he'll ever do, because it will be all -| he'll ever need to do. He is the eternal new, -| the [forever youth:][] this is the simple [role][] -| of every celebrity, to let us forget death. -| Bieber didn't make a mistake on the Sistine -| Chapel's name. He merely showed that someday - -| all old names must go, that on some day -| a name must die so that the thing, which is all -| that matters, can stay as it was in the sixteenth -| century: fresh, ostentatious, and brand new. -| In a way, [the name becomes a Christ][], experiencing death -| so the world doesn't have to. But I am wary of this role - -| for a name. It seems a name gives meaning, rolls -| the general idea together with the concrete, daily -| toil of the mundane. Are not life and death -| intertwined? Is not everything tied up all -| with everything? I guess I'm saying the new -| necessarily comes from the old, as every sixteen- - -| year-old has a parent. [Life rolls to death][], and all -| is tied together. Each day is born of night, and dies so new -| morning can occur. Even the sixteenth chapel holds death. - -[role]: words-meaning.html -[death]: deathstrumpet.html -[opposite of death]: death-zone.html -[creation]: creation-myth.html -[judgment]: movingsideways.html -[forgotten the date]: riptide_memory.html -[be a father]: i-am.html -[forever youth:]: about-the-author.html -[the name becomes a Christ]: nothing-is-ever-over.html -[Life rolls to death]: ouroboros_memory.html -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
