You have — and are — it all.
Simple perfection.
So, of course,
you enjoy making things
seem complicated,
harder than they have to be,
a life-or-death struggle,
flawed, tragic, surprising, miraculous.
Why wouldn’t you?
Nothing matters,
so your biggest thrill is making
it seem like EVERYTHING matters.
You like to deny
that you IMAGINE ALL of creation.
Because it’s fun.
