unconscious emotions, unrequited love, existential
vexation, loneliness, skepticism, self-doubt, solipsism,
Oedipal complexities, misogynistic rage, intellectual
preoccupation, vanity, spiritual disquiet, pathological
insecurity, borderline schizophrenia and/or multiple-
personality disorder, your father’s spooky ghost, charming
good looks that only a mother could love, a proclivity for
engaging in some serious sophistry, one heck of a beef
with the moral character of the human race, a somewhat
far flung fascination with the discrepancy between the
known and the unknown universe, a heated debate between
you, yourself, and ye regarding fate and/vs. free will, a lot
of good jokes we’re only just beginning to get, the loss of
your bestest homies, and, of course, your own death)
