News Of The Neighborhoods.

In one section of the city is a man with a testosterone level so high
that he even frightens himself, yet nothing similar seems true anywhere
regarding men’s neurotransmitter level.
“Say  --  is this supposed to be a metaphor for something --  if so: I don’t get it.”
All right, try this version: In one section of the city is a man with a testosterone level
so high that even HE submits to him physically, yet nothing similar seems to go on anywhere regarding men’s neurotransmitter wherewithal.
“Hey  --  that one’s even weirder!”
Okay then, do this: ask yourself why it seems so.
The routine urbanized mind can look at a piece of man made machinery,
and correctly comprehend its purpose and how its inner workings accomplish same
in a straightforward materialistic manner as is clearly appropriate,
yet when it turns its attention onto the humans always involved in its construction,
and operation, it falls into fits of unnecessary metaphysicalizing,
as though the eyeballs of its mental sight have suddenly begun to wildly roll about, uncontrollably.
Like a butcher who plainly understands the nature of the physical meat before him,
and as he chops, is mentally entertained with fantastic speculations concerning
the force that animates such.

A man who discovers what is going on  --  sticks to the facts,
particularly those about the thing in man responsible for facts.



 
 
 
 

In the city there are some things you can only do
by never understanding totally the thing you’re trying to do.



 
 
 
 

Another Example Of How It All Links Together.
Only when men become sufficiently civilized to have the free time,
and disposable income necessary, do new illnesses appear.

A Question & Answer Sequence Banned In Most Urban Areas.

Question: Why did man come up with the word and concept of the mind?
Answer: So that by having this specific name, “mind”
he would speak as though his mind was something separate from “him.”
Warning: Pursue not this incorporeal sport for risk of coming to the attention of
The Propriety Police.
 
 




Some News For The Non Standard Sportsman.

Leave those content to be frustrated to their bait and tackle,
the alert man’s way to catch the distracting fish is to simply teach them to say, “I”
and they’ll drown and drop from sight.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Mused one man: “When I am feeling good, I can usually be happy  --  so:
if I could stay happy would I always feel good?”  --
and his hormones and neurons looked at one another, and shrugged?!?

If you want to: you can picture circumstances as hormones,
and your I-self as neurons  --
you can do this if you want to, though few take it far enough for it to ripen and explode.
 
 




A Further Survey Of The Routine Operations Of Man’s Mind
As Drawn In A Poetic Comparison-Come-Parallel Between Sex And Thinking.
Even when a man’s thoughts are not producing viable sperm,
his mind can still get an erection and lead him into infertile erotic activity,
(capon cognizance).







Mentioned a man to a friend: “Seems to me that to believe you can offend,
hurt, or otherwise disappoint life requires the ludicrous vanity of a typical politician,
on steroids, taking speed, up for unopposed reelection,
and wearing a Batman costume,
(either that or just be a less obstreperous, common citizen of the neural city).”
 
 
 
 
 
 

Legend says there was once a band of nervous system rebels who employed as
one feature of their efforts, the setting of their watches always five hours ahead,
(it further alleges that they continually refined this method to a point,
after which they were never again heard of.)
“Ahhh!” sighs a fellow: “If only to my better mind I too could no longer be heard of”  --
well now  --  everybody wants something, don’t they;
the funny thing about what the rebels want is that it makes no sense,
yet they can’t keep from wanting it any more than a mother can stop caring for a child (symbolically read that as: anything that came from her or him  --
there is the practical crux for those of the peculiar, inherent pregnancy).
 
 




Terpsichore In The City.

                                                    The tango is a rough dance:
                                                    some pushing and shoving,
                                                    some giving and taking,
                                                    yielding and assaults  --  now tell me students:
                                                    What it is you do constantly that is not like the tango?
 
 




Mental & Verbal Activity In Normal Neural Neighborhoods.

If you are going to quote someone else to buttress your point,
you might as well go ahead and publicly hold their coat,
(not to mention continuing to sleep in the homeless shelter’s lightless basement).

The state’s first responsibility to its citizens is to constantly prepare for war,
(that is): to plan for progress;
the rebel (having a strictly personal agenda) plots his own course  --
lays his own plans.
 
 





The key to a comfortable city existence is in constantly attempted, self-hypnosis  --
it mostly doesn’t work  --
it is the constant attempt that counts.

Once the would-be rebel has experienced the full realization of his calling,
the reward of the activity is in the excitement of circumstances  --
the very things that once impeded his efforts.
