clouding my mind

[plasticman111]

I am reading what I cannot remember, sifting the wind for a scent of meaning, perhaps, something that will stick to my bones, like poetry occasionally did in my youth (when it was read as an adjunct to the impossible pursuit of cheap sex). Now everything has taken on the air of the airport, insomnia and cleaning products. Alienation was a kind of

your unconscious is obviously better mediated than mine. I'd love to know who does your chemistry

I take that back. No matter how your story is read, my unconscious is better mediated than yours, and that's no insult. My god how language is set loose on the internet - I hope you don't mind if I find your predicament fascinating, (if you can imagine my perspective), attempting to judge an infinitely distant, subjectivity soaked truth through a maelstrom of indeterminancy, madness, and text. Schizophrenia and the Internet for real. It could (if you're not a psychotic stalker), serve as the basis for a new form of literature. (if you are a psychotic stalker, you should knock that shit off, its dirty). Anyway, I'm reserving judgement just cause it makes it more fun for me. Though I will admit I find you more intelligent, better read, and capable of wittier reparte, which, while it makes me like you more than your adversary, it certainly doesn't clear you of any federal crimes.

and I still insist that a plague of mice is actually more frightening than clowns, but I will admit that clowns can be very frightening (and often far more real).

I took the trouble to read all the available material after having written my slightly glib post and if its any consolation to you, her posts smell to me like mental illness while the worst I could conclude about you was that you were capable of emotional messiness - from which I can infer that you are human. Sorry if I took your condition lightly, you have no need to defend yourself to me.
