This allows the rest of the description to be about whatever.
Early on, before opening my shop, I decided the descriptive space was another opportunity for self expression.
For example, the 'description' of my very first item sold: 'These ancient sciences will lure you with their music and hysterics. These priestesses will chart your hallucinations and create logarithms of your lusts. You can become a slave of aesthetics just as you can to narcotics, beauty will call you to it from within your very core. How will you function as a zombie, a slave?'
Pretty goofy.
Another early piece reads: 'You will go into trances and hysterics. The sweat will pour from your skin. You will find yourself dancing, exhausted, in a Brazilian carnival.'
When I couldn't think of anything else to say, I started looking around for interesting things on the internet.
There have been times when I am compelled to write something of my own from scratch instead of just editing chunks from wikipedia.A historical tidbit that produces a sense of mystery or awe in me always makes me want to tell others as well. So I do. In the description. Keep up.
If you fall through the navel of the night,
down into the underdream,
the unfathomable injustice which is life
will lift away, along with all joys-
an unclenching.
Moonbeams cannot reach
into this cold, slow kingdom.
Your swimming elongates you.
Now you are a snake, everdeepening.
A light particle become wave.
Will you meet yourself here,
as one gradually approaching a mirror?
Miles within your core...
sleeping anchor,
moonface you.
But whatever, check out the cool heishi!
