A friend of mine told me the other day that he had a dream about me while I had taken mushrooms and was telling everyone I was a black force and evil (which I don't remember doing, but alas, must be true) , and in the dream he looked into my eyes and fell down a black hole. I immediately said, " OH, so you fell into my eyes?" Because his mention of that dream kinda frightened me...made me feel like all he saw me as was an abyss, so I responded with a witty joke. Regardless, I do find his dream interesting, though disconcerting.

My biggest problem
[info]fractalcloud
Is that I can't do anything unless I feel in the mood for it. That is why I have to ingest drugs in order to put me in the mood for anything. Adderall for motivation, alcohol for socialization, nicotine for an extra boost of concentration, psychedelics for escaping...

Something about my natal sign struck out to me...

-140 Opposition Moon - Uranus
"She has a feverish, non-constructive restlessness. She is too susceptible. Her life is full of change. She is irritable and stubborn at times due to an inner restlessness that is hard to satisfy. She has difficulty concentrating on a job. Nervous strain. Her friendships are like her professional and love life - sometimes unstable. There is a strong need for closeness, but when people get too close, she gets cagey, as she values personal freedom just as much."

Well, that is pretty obvious.

“Anne, I don't want to live. . . . Now listen, life is lovely, but I Can't Live It. I can't even explain. I know how silly it sounds . . . but if you knew how it Felt. To be alive, yes, alive, but not be able to live it. Ay that's the rub. I am like a stone that lives . . . locked outside of all that's real. . . . Anne, do you know of such things, can you hear???? I wish, or think I wish, that I were dying of something for then I could be brave, but to be not dying, and yet . . . and yet to [be] behind a wall, watching everyone fit in where I can't, to talk behind a gray foggy wall, to live but to not reach or to reach wrong . . . to do it all wrong . . . believe me, (can you?) . . . what's wrong. I want to belong. I'm like a jew who ends up in the wrong country. I'm not a part. I'm not a member. I'm frozen.” 

-Anne Sexton

Tell me why?

I can't put certain words on paper, or utter them out of my throat like cutting flowers off the stem. Should it not be that easy?

Lampyridae is pale
here in the south,
dying with 
the ice.
But I am afraid to pursue,
afraid to speak
in my basement,
watching them flutter
and spark,
layered with dust,
becoming catalysts
for trauma.
And I know
It's from drinking
the ancient liquid
of those stubborn stars,
and I begin to 
stutter
and think about some
Eastern religion
or tranquilize myself
with sleep.
I ponder about 
dopamine
packing in our synapses like
those boxes we 
moved from town to town
I am subdued.
Chemically, I
rush through your theories,
Mr. Jupiter.
And I fill with silence
I am inertia.
I am filled with colliding
variables, 
My body is a white thing now.

Oranges and apples,
live like the Mona Lisa
in the homes of house-wives
and terrier dogs.
With napkins folded
into squares of perfection;
happy little roof
shelters the unseen.
The monsters under their children's beds,
come out, speak clearly, drink tea,
smoke a cigar.
While business casual is just
adornment like the bowls of tangerines.

"She would sit by herself in the middle of the old stoe amphitheatre, with the sky's starry vault overhead, and simply listen to the great silence around her."
