Eyes upon thyself fixed! a gaze of love and contempt. The well of pride seeps into thine heart. This is set upon thee now, the age of reason hath departed. Revel in thine form, and figure.
Revel in Thine hour.
Touching smooth flesh, taught and unblemished. Rolling tongue over teeth, white and blinding. Cheshire grins, ignorant of the cracks and fissures that dwell within. Smile! with an indulgent heart; engulfed in overconfident brilliance! Shine, burn, electrify all. Burst and fade, leaving glowing phosphorescence churning the wake of a temporal sea.
The vessel is ridden with holes.
Liquid everything sluices through the gap, and all that was and is, is drowned. Engulfed and absorbed. Immolated, dissolved, hardened as stone, cracked and destroyed again. Every part of you, a part of me; all tenants of transitory flop houses.
Weak and exasperated, we all fall down.

Keep in mind a few things, should you go on a "real hike." Bring warm, comfortable, well fitted footware. Bring lots of water, and a means to carry it in easily accessible locations. Wear lots of layers, and if you are to be in a cold/wet area, bring something acrylic based, or wool. Cotton will soak you, and freeze you. Stay dry, watch your step, and enjoy the beauty of nature!
