πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ big nervous system dysregulation. So well drawn out. Lots of pathological altruism in my family. Freeing myself from it. Healing my NS.

And can I say I love that you adapted an academic essay into a lyric essay. πŸ–€πŸ–€

I read an interview with a poet who was prominent in the 70s, I think, and she said something about how she loved turning prose into poems and poems into prose and though I haven’t tried it, I’ve been obsessed with the concept since I read that five years ago now.
