Intensity and Intimacy

...and then some days are like screaming fire from the heavens shooting down to burst my ribcage and leave everything within hanging out, fully exposed to the world. Sometimes this even happens quietly, a;nd you don't notice until it's done.

Oh, Duh!

Right.

So, intense long-term relationshippy feelings following a period of sore breasts and constant thoughts of sex. Where have we seen this before?

Yeah, yeah. Post-ovulation. Pay attention, Greenie.

Also remember that your paranoia concerning authority figures is not justified. Remember boss. Remember roommate. Just remember. More mindfulness, girl.

Mrrr.

Lift Your Right Arm
Peter Cherches

Lift your right arm, she said.
I lifted my right arm.
Lift your left arm, she said.
I lifted my left arm. Both of my arms were up.
Put down your right arm, she said.
I put it down.
Put down your left arm, she said.
I did.
Lift your right arm, she said.
I obeyed.
Put down your right arm.
I did.
Lift your left arm.
I lifted it.
Put down your left arm.
I did.
Silence. I stood there, both arms down, waiting for her next
command. After a while I got impatient and said, what next.
Now it's your turn to give the orders, she said.
All right, I said. Tell me to lift my right arm.
