Follow Vanity and Become Vain

Jean-Antoine Watteau's Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera. Created during an art period known as the Rococo, oft characterized by superficial subject matter.

"You will become what you worship."

"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."


And drying in the sun
Shriveling and shrinking
The hides are turning brown
Wrinkling and stinging

As you bury yourself

Deep in the dust
Of the sandiest grave you can find
It's a new desert life
