The War of the Refrigerator Magnets

I am the universe, and all that lies therewithin.
I am the crumbs of disrespect.
I am the refrigerator magnet.
I am the plumber's helper.
I am the dawn of the ages.
I am the age of the dawn.
I am the down pillow, falling slowly to its death from an airplane.
I am the death of all things.
I am the creep of foreboding.
I am the valley of the dogs.
I am the drooling canine.
I am the splendor.
