When you hear the message, hang up the phone
by Gonzalo Mendez

Hours swell into a crash
along the shores of my stomach
before withdrawing once again
Shifting symptoms to sickness.

The bathroom is eager to greet me
with compliments; saying I breathe
In perfect tone and cadence
while the door frame attacks the ceiling.

reversed Eden
by Matthew Conrad

you can clearly replace the metaphor of the apple of Eden with a mushroom, given the current trend of "enlightened" people these days... not so much an apple, but a mushroom, as the story goes... i'm less mammal and more: "inclined" to posit a fungus hierarchy, i'm infested with a funal rot... should a brain hemorrhage find, i'll be living under the pseudonym: penny bun... anyone who has ingested the mushroom of Eden will see a wobbly third arm tenticle growing out from the tip of my spine, that's connected to the skull... great short-script bypass... or rather: on the "event horizon"... is it just me... rebelling against the fungus overlord in saying: a black hole is a 2D object in a 3D space, spinning really fast, like those ferns in the original tomb raider for PS1? just me then... i do remember raidning a smurfs' honey fungus village once... riding my salto bicycle... chanterelles mushrooms... suillus luteus mushrooms: pickled... yes, i'm a monkey with a pseudonym: fungus host... i have the will of a mushroom, and the degenerate potential of a shaved ape... i am born of 'shroom, and some mushy peas and some mashy tatties... from an apple you'd get cider... no one knows, really, whether Eve and the schizphrenia of the serpet came first... it must have come "last", given... Adam probably did some mushroom-thinking on the side... getting drunk probably saved the hallucinogenic junkie to begin with... thank god i never invested myself in these hallucinogenics... getting drunk was the best venture i could succumb to... ancient rot mushroom being faced with newly ingested fungus? it would send the old guard into hyper-stress... a mushroom mingling with a hedgehog... well: if this is what darwinism did for history? why not pay darwinism back... again: i didn't evolve from a monkey... i devolved from a monkey... i'm physically weaker, i am also mentally weaker... a monkey will find the simplests of things entertaining... a man needs to create labyrinths of rules to find himself entertained... he needs a colliseum... he needs blood sports... ne needs games... he needs a diet of an omnivore... a panda remains a panda by digesting bamboo stalks... what's there to brag about? being half-mammal half fungal infestation? at least a parasite akin to a tapeworm you can shit out... how the hell will you get rid of a fungal brain parasite? the atom bomb won't fix it... mushroom cloud galore... it's almost a joke; thought and the "internal" voice of "reason"... i was always a monkey that should have eaten the apple and discovered fermentation first... rather than jumping on the mushy-mushy train of: "not enough room".

to some mythological nord -
a song...
garmarna - hilla lilla -
where they still trill their ᚱ - journey -
not this tarantula bitten numb
of the anglo-ßaß:
there needs to be a diacritical
marker to distinguish the trilled R
