going back

i don't know if i believe in eternal return, but it seems to be something to be desired. as a man, always penetrating, always seeking the forgotten comfort of the womb. the mother, every man's first penetration. he seeks out others, he'll try and fail, and settle for something he can tolerate as a parallel to perfection; a reminder of where he came from. for girls it's different. perhaps there is comfort in being the host, a feeling of being wanted, needed, fundamental to a system. but even they have this cryptic nostalgia for comfort which compromises into coitus. inside of her he's a parasite. she thinks about him, he thinks about her. they both think different things. they both do their part to keep things going.

hmmm...the freudian analogy seems a bit streched thin these days....falling into the same old structured identities of the passivity of females to be the host, and the agressiveness of males...it seems to take something that has emerged fairly recently in western culture and expand it into a universal domain of innate propensities due to the trauma of birth...or seeking to be filled up...i dont know what im talking about any more, but i had something in mind at one point or another before i forgot to care..woops. It seems to be a feature of what i do more often than not these days.
