| Corrosive Atrophy |
| by Paul Handley |
| Provides opportunity for stretching
unrehearsed cells, into unforeseen models due to the lack of routine. The resultant clumsiness adds dimension, and I suddenly understand why Eric wanted to move to, and descend into the frozen Madison ground. Prior to his self summons into the permazone, he gathered tools of the netherworld, Gameboy, reality TV, and baseball with untold rain delays. His dreams were peppered with periodic play of high and tight pitches and slides led by waving spikes, at the replacement players on the field. Eric knew that accelerated growth, meant cubed inactivity is change. A profound process, but will we still know each other? What’s the recognition factor? I’m me and apprehension in my sure state was easy. Eric’s numbness was the not that of a sensory deprivation tank, that in a sense deadens or blackout exact senses, to enhance another sense and this way dull down for rebirth. A two-step process as opposed to his piling on. More risky since a complete breakdown. Eric says he says he didn’t recall my voice the last time I called. Now he’s all Mr. Transcendent, and I can’t stand his enlightened ass. |
