The Head/Gut Axis

Have you ever had just so many tasks that they consume you every day and every time you think of them, your stomach turns to goo? Many tasks that cause anxiety are coming onto the hands and heart of my skunky self. I am a dirty pile of socks. I am a nervous crumble cheezy cracker bits. I am a case of temporary insanity that is lasting longer than usual. My brain-situation is somewhat in failed state. It is time for a tune-up, a re-ratcheting of the head and gut.

Depopulate your head and gut. Start over and pretend you are someone else.

You must sit and write a poem about your feelings. The intensity of them will guide you to the language you will put on the page. Do not write in iambic pentameter--it will only cause more stress.

Poetess, that is high quality beef advice. Everyone should be writing free verse, on the cutting edge of feelings.

MM, here is the cure: remove head, and allow gut to reign the MM empire for minimum of 1 day. Then reverse the process: replace head, remove gut, etc. They will stop taking one another for granted, and better harmony will be achieved.

You need some of my weapons of mass deconstruction.

I am willing to try anything. Removal of organs, body parts, burying of head, anything. The tasks are slow in completion, there is faux knowledge to be absorbed, painstaking slow documentation of years of relics, the sharing of information in a logical fashion with others. Logic and physical presence does not come easy.

I am going to the woods this evening and returning Sunday evening. It will be time to remember the calming dirts.

Dirt is soothing, especially when applied liberally to the groin area. Accompany with aggressive massage.

You liberals are SO obsessed with the groin area.

what's a groin? It sounds groiny.

I am too embarrassed to speak of the groin, it frightens me. It is overwhelming, like the sublime.

Thank you for the comfort of strange voices from the ether. They echo in my head and provide solace.
