Walt Whitman
If anything is sacred the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman

Writing my fleshy story consisted of examining the butchered offal of my carnivorous character. Flayed like the catch of the day, I scrutinized the ramified offscourings of my worm-ridden soul, a parasitic host to tumors of self-doubt and lesions of personal insecurities.
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls
