We Are Gregor: The Gregoring By Alex S. Johnson

with a tip of the hat to Jeffrey Thomas

I am Gregor's lost suns sinking below the infernal Urizen
I am the Lord of Hades stuck to Gregor's back in place of the wings she lost
I am the temperamental siren Gregoria Batshit Myhellya Jaxon here to raise some furries and furies
I am sex starved galactic oversoul Queen Gregorina the accordion-hearted with bosoms to bury ya
I am the carrion thousand yard flash flesh feast of Gregors scraped off a liminal portal adjacent to Punktown
I am the spectral crypt of Gregor the Unsound
I am dearly and deeply departed King Gregorassa the Bold, drove armies over a cliff rather than commit more war on innocents
I am a fresh minted microchip implanted in the All-Gregor brain
I am the high sustain of Gregor amplifiers make Murder One sound more like a whimper than a bang
I am the beginning of the first microzonal instantiation of the Gregor 1 Project in a pocket dimension
I am the shades of Gregor driven far from Newton's tree
I am time elapsed Gregor descending a staircase in outer space with minutes to go
I am Hollywood Gregor tending his throne on the seat of cold eternities
I am the bees stung kisses tasted reluctantly then fiercely then nevermore
I am the Gate, the Portal, the Tomb and the Maternity Planet Pope Gregor the Dead
I am the bread of Jesus Gregor died and resurrected on the Tree of Life
I am the Qlippoth art-realistic atomistic hell roots of Gregor never a beggar always a wealthy man
I am providential Gregor unsealing the lost art of sunshine
I am Uncle Sam's plan of assembly line Gregors
I am the slaughtered plants of Gregors in biopunk rhizomes
I am Gnome Gregor hunched over a map to Never.
I am forever.
