| Introduction | tell the truth, try to stay little, keep from melting or making very many jokes, avoid distorted image in the mirror, try to exercise restraint, forget to exercise restraint, hear myself in a new way, make conversational decisions, become someone else for a minute, realize that the someone else is part of me, unwind and exorcise the evil parts that are not me, hate a little bit, forget who I was a moment ago, anesthetize feelings, gain some distance, stand sill in the middle of the stream and watch everything go by, learn to swim, desire a place to live that is shielded from the environment, gaze into the emotional supernova, give myself over to it, enjoy the strange new experience, let go of strident rules, pray to mecca four times a day, tend to my poppies, hide the smuggled arms, rub charcoal on my face so I blend in with the landscape, suck my knees. fall stupid, forget to count my fingers and toes, trip and fall, lay prone for a while, out of habit try again, notice the little muscles that hold the small hairs on the back of my neck, obsess, distract, avoid, hide, ignore, pretend, give up give up give up, breathe under water. |
