I became so dull and domesticated that an objectively uneventful experience became life-shattering. Scrambling up one rock was an exhilarating experience. But climbing up two rocks, stacked on each other, overwhelmed me like nothing else in my life had before. Surrounded with the most advanced technology the world has ever seen, endless sources of entertainment at the push of a button - and here I sit on two rocks, tasting God.

It was 1985 and Starship were singing we built this city on rock and roll over the radio into my biological father's auto repair shop by the banks of the canal, the ducks slowly circling and leaving wakes on the water, peaceful and providing a contrast to the noise of the radio - we built this city on rock and roll - as I was conceived, my mother passing through town on her way home from the overnight shift had paused to ask a mechanic for a light and its flame had ignited not only the loose-rolled tube of Golden Virginia but lust in the golden virgin who held it to it. We built - sang a former member of Jefferson Airplane as if revisiting former glories or having an acid flashback - this city - my mother moaning in the back seat of a Humvee with all four wheels removed for routine maintenance, knees practically to her ears - on rock - the pain of first penetration not as bad as she's been led to expect and the cigarette still not put out - and roll. My mother's eyes roll back as she reaches climax and the ducks pause for a brief moment in the canal as if they know. My biological father humming along - we built this city - I've heard this story from her so many times - on rock and roll, which she did, swaying her body about violently in the throws of lust. She got unlucky, had me but never saw my biological father again nor experienced the sweet release of mechanical sex nor any other kind of erotic sensation so she says, so she sobs in her cups every time it comes on the radio again which is less and less these days but she leaves it on, tuned to the classic rock station, listening: we built this city on rock and roll, a phrase that has stuck in my head since the first time she told me this story at age six or thereabouts, and in much the same way that Starship built that city on rock and roll, someone has built this rock on which I am sitting on (another) rock.

There I sat, under the blazing heat of the heavens, but above the fiery torrents of the inferno. I motioned to stand, looking outward into the desolate abyss of the desert's reign. The souls of my feet casting the weight of my being downwards into torment, while the soul of my being is lifted upward to sanctitude. Forever stuck between the quarrel of the universe's struggle for balance, I sat down on this rock once again. A meager clarity came over my psyche, a feeling of solace, at once I began to wonder what the nature of this rock was. Here I sat on this rock, which was sitting on top of another closely identical rock. By any means, this structure could not of been manmade, since it must weigh well over a ton. No human could, nor would they have the motive, to lift this rock where I sit. This here structure must just be a nature anomaly, but what is the likelihood? Especially here, where there are no other rocks to be found, that cannot be it. How long has this structure stood for? It must have existed before my creation, and will continue to do so after my decay. But who else has witnessed this rock, where another rock sits, where I sit? Surely I cannot be the only one, there must have been others? Or perhaps I'm simply stuck somewhere in a dream. But this clarity that I feel mustn't be a result of a dream, perhaps this is my burning bush. But what is the message, I cannot understand, but I can feel it. Yes, YES! This tower of rocks, where I sit, is proof of the existence of God. Even out here, where no life would dare to live, the essence of God is.

Look, I always wanted to fuck my mother. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, incest is wrong and all that, but I've read Bataille and Nabokov, dig? It's basically all just propaganda to keep you from plunging seven inches deep into the sopping canal that you came from; think of it as predatory capitalism: they don't WANT you to know that you can fuck your mother and the world won't end because then you'll never leave your house (which I don't anyway) and won't contribute to their crummy society. So yeah, fucking my mother is pretty much all I ever wanted in this life. I imagine doing it in all kinds of ways, ya'know? Like, we start with some nice throat fucking and then maybe I grease her ass up a bit and plow into that penurious hole. Basically I wanna do it all with her. Her tits are good too. Real hangers. Real big one that slant down to her thighs whenever she's sitting by the pool in a lawn chair reading. I'd like to die somewhere in between those milk-hoses. Anyway, I figured I would try and get things going with the old girl like this: we go on a stroll through a park, yeah, real romantic, huh? And then I do something to really scare her, get her motherly heart beating like real fucking fast and all that hot blood pumping all for my sake while I get my own blood hot and all pumping somewhere else myself. She comes running up to me, puts me between those heavenly hangers and then I make my move. Maybe rape her if she isn't into it, but hey, I bet she will be. She's got a dirty mind. I know cause she's been teasing me with nice long ass-shots in the kitchen every day for about a month. It's been murder, man, I tell ya. But like, to get this whole thing going, I need to fake an accident, ya know, so I found this great spot, real picturesque as the French courtesans say, real meditative too. There's these rocks, big one, like my mother's tits, and the one is balanced onto the other real fucking zen like. You should see it in the park, it looks like a goddamn monument or something. Two rocks, the one balanced on the other. And so I figure I'll climb up on the one and sit there and then fake myself losing balance. I guess the fall will be legit, but so will the sweet, sopping pussy that'll be pulsating to have me put my cock deep into where I first came outa to comfort the great comforter in my life, ya'know?

There was once a rock, which sat precariously on a slightly bigger rock. This bigger rock clinged on rockily to an even bigger rock.
