| It helps to catch it in the early stages.
Prozac and Paxil compete for surfs as a million mini refineries process fossil fools, anti-mind over matter. Give me the time tortured epiphanies captured in shocking treatments of well-behaved lighting, biting hard, earning your rubber moth piece the old fashion way. Or maybe even the catch all frontal lobotomy, where the fine scalpel need not be that fine, close enough for government work The straight jacket soul bounces between inner and outer cells, all padded for our convenience, and the altered state is any state but the real state. Can't have that. I bet you Neanderthal never had it so goddamn rough. He just killed, ate, fucked and slept his way through panic attacks. If it's not broke then brake it, bitch. |
