Glasfryn Project

I have a revision plan.  Time to rampage in my wreckage, re-shape the shadow. Time was running down throughout 1968.  I was notating my young entropy:

I have an infection of the pen. Confined to the house of words. The cries of the baby are speeding up and the streets are partitioned with glass. Priest in the tabernacle, head in a bowl of oil. His animal gored bystanders under the tree of sin.

I had failed to read the operating manual for my head. I had no idea what its sub-systems were doing. Instead I took the lead role of holy ghost in the meat-engine, an ethereal tripester. No chemicals were used. I let the words talk me into the naughty corner. I really tried to break Heisenberg’s Rule, too hard.
