Animal Barn


My body is being mean to me because I am being mean to my body.
My head hurts. Boo.
I'm eating soybeans and hoping they help.
I'm glad botany is over. Plants are interesting but there is wayyyyyyyy too much to know.
Do i remember if i learned anything about soybeans: no.
But limabeans have hydrocyanic acid in them. Go limabeans.
I like it when milk and juice get so cold they form ice. Drinking icy liquid makes me happy.
No, that is not why my head hurts.
I go nocturnal during exams; apparently this makes my head hurt.



Nap Dream:

In a barn.
The shutters are all closed because it's winter; light creeps in through all the cracks.

There are birds.
They are trying to find a way out and it troubles me because they are hungry; they need to get outside.

I'm on the second floor of the barn, which is more of just a pathway along the edges with the middle open to the floor below.

I pass birds who have fallen from exhaustion.
They're still alive and i want to find them worms.
I need to open the shutters first.



I get to the other room and now I'm scared to open the window; there are all sorts of birds here... some with big beaks; i know they're all going to rush at the window to get out.

I open it.
There's an invisible transformation.

Now, upstairs with me are baby gorillas and lion cubs.... i think there might be other animals too, but these are the focus.
I'm feeding them pieces of fruit.



The rest is mostly blurry, but at one point an adult lion is passing through...
with an armed escort.

There's a narrative voice in my head saying that i need to do anything not to accidentally engage eye contact because if i do, I'll most certainly be attacked.

The babies are cute, but still strong; i love them but acknowledge and respect the immature force just under the surface....
this guy is powerful and i wouldn't have a chance.
