bodies!
what are they? pieces of meat pumping litres of blood through themselves, velocity, velocity! hormones create velocity, kung foo fighting in my arteries and veins! the big bang when everything comes together in the heart to get a new anlauf and shoooot once more. with feeling.
sometimes i lie next to people. sometimes i lie next to people who make me want to cut a hole in my chest for i can no longer take the immense pressure of my blood against the walls of my small heart. i try to calm myself down in moments like these, "where the fuck do you think you're going, red hot?", i often fail to relax and thus think about how the step in the opposite direction would feel like... and i die immediately.
