while the researchers research

thoughts in absentia

sustained thinking short circuits and sparks fallout without evidence as my brain reboots multiple times due to searching the recesses for frayed neurons with synaptic burnout and decreased circulation while swimming to the surface like a diver from the depths seeing sunlight and craving air but lungs bursting fire for breath right now during the journey in extreme effort to keep pace just a little bit longer breaching the barrier for brainwave frequency simultaneously balancing clarity on the brink of serotonin levels and EEG printouts others study incessantly as prophylaxis to guard susceptible minds and a strengthened belief in anomalies but consciousness pierces through and I awaken conversing as if nothing at all has happened once again shattering tightly held hopes and reassurances that they too cannot be thought so crazed.

Life has been the other side of batshit crazy.

No support evidence required.

The fact that you have some semblance of sanity and the wherewithal to read this...let's just say that you deserve a medal! It ain't been easy out there.

Do whatever you got to do for your peace. Do I really need to say within the confines of law and ethics?

Zumba. Marathon. Knit-bomb. Compose. Swim a ridiculous amount of laps. Shred toxicity. Stress. Your bills. Just stay loose out there!

I'll throw in a poem every now and then. Keep the dragons sleeping.
