the crannial growth pole centerA Chapter by Joseph D. Watkinsa little pulsing gland in our hero's head describes its corner of eternity.I was young once. smooth, symetrical, budding. my inner sanctum was like two ears folded shut around each other; chemicles began pooling there. I grew, and now, I am as convoluted as the lobes that c onstantly call for my excretions. Always they are calling on me. You see, the dopamine no longer flows as a constant stream, the nerves have crowded around the glands more and more, and the deposits that collect, the anti-histamine-mood-swing-dramamine-thc and veins: they are clinging like mullosks to the hull of this juggernaut mind on its life long voyage. The spinal chord a rudder, the frontal lobes as sails, and the back brain at the helm. We set a course today. North by north-east. I'm cold in my crow's nest tonight, the sails twist, bend, and snap currents about me. Cold like sour like sore like seered or seething. I was hanging about by two large cluster of nerves above a little lump of cerebrum that rises and falls as a tide does. As all tides do. Even spinal fluid tides.
Now look about you! Do you see the same landscape, the same things of sorts? If I were your captain, you wouldn't see the same sort of things as you now do, yet I'm not a captain nor will I ever be a captain. I'm in the crows nest. When we get close to another ship, I see it first. And when we get close to a port, I see the sand bank or reef or reefs, I see danger and I see safety, I see the weather both metaphysical and now - back and forth.
North by north-east and ripe with DMT.
