potential poem titles

look how far away my face is

i feel bad

i'm going to take a bath in 13 gallons of warm coffee

'tired of life'

i want to murder everyone on the planet with pillows and then lay down on my bed

i feel insecure about my face

i want to murder the ocean

i want to sleep on a zebra while it gets eaten by a lion

can i stab large animals

i wish my face was a giant floating emoticon

today i empathized with the top of a tower

very important post

Doctors estimate that seventy to eighty percent of their business is non-health-related. People aren't sick, they're self-dramatising. Sometimes the hardest part of a medical job is keeping a straight face. As Jerry Seinfeld observed of his twenty years of dating: "That's a lot of acting fascinated."

    The acquisition of a condition lends significance to one's existence. An illness, a cross to bear... Some people go from condition to condition; they cure one, and another pops up to take its place. The condition becomes a work of art in itself, a shadow version of the real creative act the victim is avoiding by expending so much care cultivating his condition. 

    A victim act is a form of passive aggression. It seeks to achieve gratification not by honest work or a contribution made out of one's experience or insight or love, but by the manipulation of others through silent (and not-so-silent) threat. The victim compels others to come to his rescue or to behave as he wishes by holding them hostage to the prospect of his own further illness/ meltdown/ mental dissolution, or simply by threatening to make their lives so miserable that they do what he wants. 

    Casting yourself as a victim is the antithesis of doing your work. Don't do it. If you're doing it, stop.
