...what i notice...
peeking out saying hello reminding me and myself of my
higher-ness
by the way
I am spewing forth & churning with new notions and noticing many
what-knots
and such. I don't know maybe this is what makes me so

c
yes wretched lethargy
curse its hide
it sucks that I am all withdrawn and catatonic
I feel like I need 3 months notice
A Lead Burka
A cinder block enclosure with lots of peep holes
And plenty of druggage even beginning to be comfortable
socializing
all these things in ordinary life
my stress intolerance
shuts me down
I remember high mind high mind high mind
my mantra
I am feeling all
weird and tired
I am thinking about asking someone
to come over here slap me

The Day I Tickled My Hippocampus
I am studying neurophysiology. I am learning much about the physical structure of, namely, the brain...
All of its hemispheres, components, systems, failures, diseases, malfunctions, etc.
I know all too good and well that my brain has some sort of organic malady. And through my studies I have learned that the area most likely to be affected in a brain such as mine will be the limbic system. And of that system, the amygdala and the hippocampus will have taken the hardest hits. One is hyperactive when it should be mellow, and the other is just the opposite. That's putting it really really basically.
I know what the limbic structure looks like. I've seen it in MRIs, CT scans, drawings, paintings, computer generated, animated images, autopsy photos...everything but, ummm, in the flesh...
I am really game to try anything, really what ever it takes to sooth my psychological unrest. I start imaginging my very own limbic system, and how it's stressed, and ailing, and tired. I start sort of empathising with its condition, trying to figure out ways to make it feel better, sooth it in a nurturing way. I imagine little hands with silken fingers, petting it and tickling it most lovingly. Carressing it and showing it some attention, right down to the cells of it, the molecular structure. I start laughing cause it is so playful and silly. I assume I do it in jest, but I see in all actuality it feels effective...in a good way...in a caring way...how amazing to be able to sooth my own brain by comforting its inner workings.

Checking each other out bouncing ideas off one another all the while I get brighter and brighter blue-prints
The cat has got my tongue my telephones tongue too
My other
Cat has the rest of us asimmer in witches brew
It is kind of like being in a state
that is of great enjoyment euphoric in a big stick, summer day kind of way

Orphan Doomed to be a Perpetual Child
I have no inner guidance system
No outer guidance system
So in my childish mind I start seeking out patterns
Like stepping stones in the outer world to cling to
To navigate with
I am a rudderless wandering
Compass less wonderer
My inner guidance system is
That tiny little voice that says
You know I know the way
Why you don't tune into me more
I can't understand

Squeaks, Chirps, Caws and General Freak Noises

I guess it's really not the marshmallow factory as much as it is imagining the place, the people, the product.
There is definitely a lot tied to these jet-puffed confections...

I Learn So Much About How My Origins Affect Me
A Child Stuck in a Grown-ups Body
I have so much to realize
To study
To come to grips with
To own
I am alone
Mainly because I am so ashamed and embarrassed
To be
A Child Stuck in a Grown-ups Body
I am alone
