Tata&Nene,the 1st couple,he cut off their heads to stitch
these to their human butts to make the first dogs,a big
metaphysical difference here? probably not   in either case
these perros made by Senor T were our first ancestors
not much difference

the dark sea of awareness except there is no water,Carlos  
no water no water we have warehouses lots of beer&coke
etc you can desalinate yr tears or drink piss out of yr bare
hands too bad we ran out of paper cups(no trees) in the

moving thru itself like a machine,drone of galactic
space like an approaching vacuum cleaner,theMysterious
Housekeeper tickling yr ass w/a broom    maybe it
snores,a hum like a peaceable kingdom

here we are in a deserted shopping mall in a suburb in a
world,a small blue man runs a vacuum cleaner in a room
before the final door
                      Mictlan tecutli,DeathLord whose domain is
The Place of No Exits
   all beyond behind this old blue man is emptiness
   if you really want to leave hell open the door for you, i.e.
   at the end there is no more just a shrunken little blue man
   alone before theAlone
   opening a door    as you dreamed
