heal

awake, the throbbing, the high speed hammering, at least twice the speed of the usual heartbeat. Wait, it must slow. Slow. Slower. Come back to order, thou part of an organism supporting this mind.

And it does.
Now what has happened find out what is wrong, listen, move the feet, wobble the hands, roll over.
It all works.
And then an urgent message
Bathroom.

coliform bacteria, dysentery, fast and furious.
on and on, seems a long time.

It is five in the morning, it is Saturday. A cruel fate, they had warned at work that the drinking water was contaminated, they did say it was in order to make coffee with it, but maybe they did not really know for sure.

And when all is over, back to bed.
all things come to an end.

Awake later, it is light,
the wife has gone to the flea market,
The son is repairing a machine called Octane,
an ancient device,

Make coffee,
Drink

And the urgent message from the night is back.
These things take time to heal.
