Oh dear. Another day late. Well, can’t be helped. Here is the prompt from Robert Fitterman, borrowed from Steve Zuttanski: “Collect found language from individuals who articulate how they feel, specifically, in their bodies…physical symptoms in the body (neck, head, stomach, feet, etc). Use at least 20 different posts from different speakers. Modify, arrange, modify.” Which I modified, as you will see below.
I have no fuse
How do you cope with fear
You get used to it
I don’t get thrown by it
don’t sound like an idiot saying
I was invisible when I was underneath
massive rifts
some minor slippage
Trying to go out every day
hearing voices
troubles
being good to others
just didn’t work out
Honestly
I suffered a lot of nostalgia
People who do not believe
shouldn’t be surprised
it’s a workout
To cry or think of something sad for a while
really takes off and catches
