NO therapy today 
I don't seem to be able to show you the picture 
he got tripped by his dog
fell on the stairs 

BROKE
his
NECK
NOSE
ORBITAL bone

he looks

I MEAN 
the wounds seem consistent 
with the STORY 
BUT 
if he told me
that he went to a pride event 
& was brutally beaten 
I'd believe that 
just as easily

it makes me 
get this WEIRD physical sensation 

I used to get it
with just
EMPATHY for other people's PAIN

BUT 
in recent years
it has expanded to
THEORETICAL pain & including my own

LIKE 
if I THINK about
myself 
or
someone else 

getting hurt

I get this WEIRD phantom pain
with an edge of
WRONGness

running up the back of my legs
into my groin 
& up my spine

do you get THAT 
I don't know how prevalent it is 

I KNOW it's not 
JUST me

I hope you are SAFE

I don't know WHY I found the 
gavin newsom thing
SO distracting 

the WHOLE trying to 
CREATE a 
state of emergency 

& the USE of California 
is pretty distracting 
BUT 
I've been trying 
NOT to get
all distracted 

I had
SO
MANY dreams 

I don't REMEMBER any of them
BUT 
I FEEL like 
they were
GOOD 

& I FEEL like 
YOU were in them
