Okay, actual post stuff now that I am out of cinnamon cookies.

recursive necrosis and the apocalypse of art
like the chisel to the sculptor's skull
In my seminar poetry course we read a paper by (I think) TS Eliot who was commenting how with good poetry, the word that follows is always the only word that could have followed, I guess referring to a natural flow and feel even with all the effort put in to writing it. This makes me think of it, because the part about art and sculpture, I expect to see something about the statue or whatever stone the sculptor is working on. Instead, we get the image of him breaking his own skull, which is a surprise to me, but also fits in perfectly. Well done. :)

With passionate masochism as the mother of invention
how can any of us stand it?
I like this last line too, because, given your usual wordy style, it's bluntness gives the impression that the narrator can't find elaborate or artistic words anymore and just flat out states the point.
