Beats to a Double Pulse
We'd all agree that teaching is a pressure occupation, especially at
the hope of salvation from a lifetime of self-doubt suddenly lost
and another fear to go with it: This is how you felt when you were cracking
an increasing, persistent melancholy after the operation. Adjusting the
horrible sludgy slowness of dreams. You look back over your shoulder
but you must be aware that borderline rage is like no other in its
dusty chain reaction of memories and emotions, as startling as the
comfort and support. Membership in other organizations such as
faces coming out of nowhere, whirling close, whirling off into
psychotherapeutic approaches that have shown promise
walking out of the pentagram, something with the face
who didn't seem to be very interested in me.
