Neurasthenic Joy

04May11

Some of the people are losing their minds…

They are only aware of this in the hypnopomic moments on their way towards the grave.

There’s a phrase that people tend to repeat to themselves that has something to do with minds and their terrifying wastefulness, or the terror of wasting them.

I’ve spent my whole life forgetting this phrase.

If I were ever to remember it entirely everything else would probably shatter.

Luckily, I begin each day by forgetting it, so as to preserve these minds.

All the minds.

Not just mine.

If you’ve ever wanted to lose something permanently, all you really need to do is try to remember where you put it.

That way it’ll occupy your mind so much that you won’t stand the slightest chance of finding it.

Once you’ve done your worst to strangle every last breath out of your memory muscles it’ll merely evaporate, or even “melt into air,” quicker than you can say “neurasthenia.”

This is the way out of the spotlight…

Back into the “private sphere.”

Don’t forget to check with the ushers next time.

In case you miss your aisle and walk onto the stage.
