My Brain Makes No Sense

Forgetfulness

by Billy Collins

The name of the author is the first to go followed obediently by the title, the plot, the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of,

as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain, to a little fishing village where there are no phones.

Long ago you kissed the names of the nine muses goodbye and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag, and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,

something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps, the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.

Whatever it is you are struggling to remember, it is not poised on the tip of your tongue or even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen.

It has floated away down a dark mythological river whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall well on your own way to oblivion where you will join those who have even forgotten how to swim and how to ride a bicycle.

No wonder you rise in the middle of the night to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war. No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted  out of a love poem that you used to know by heart.

the "it's just the wind/creaky floorboards/wild animals" horror cliche hits different when you don't live in the city

[valtsv]

me when i lived in the city: if something makes a weird noise it's obviously haunted just nut up and say it's ghosts 🙄

me after spending a few years living in the middle of nowhere with only 3 people 1 bar of cell service and the foxes whose screams at night sound like someone being murdered for company: you'd better fucking HOPE it's just the wind because if it isn't you don't want to find out

the human stress response seems so maladaptive!

[cargopantsman]

To be fair 99% of our evolutionary stress response was meant to deal with far more immediately conclusive scenarios than the tedious bullshit we put up with these days.

rock collectors do you ever wonder about who has the other half of your ammonite slice

[hellohowyme]

Why would you hide this in the tags

[spacedewey]

I think the most damage this site has done to me is making me think "It's fucken wimdy" when it is, in fact, fucken wimdy outside.

To other autistic people, did you / do you struggle playing most sports?

[sanseru]

You won’t mind if I ✨project✨ a little, right?

I dunno what to tell you guys other than I really headcanon these two having autism on some level. Kiyotaka and Kazuichi both being horribly socially awkward and seeming to fail miserably at reading a situation just- yeah. Also other minor details that I don’t feel like explaining in an essay length post rn-

Headcanons in these pictures explained:

Kiyotaka stims when he’s happy. Kazuichi tries not to so he himself rarely does, at least in not any noticeable way. 

Kiyotaka clicks his pen when focusing or anxious but is easily distracted and stressed out when someone else is clicking a pen.

Kazuichi hates having things touch his neck and has a strong preference for a specific fabric type, feeling uncomfortable in anything else. This particular hc was only amplified by how insistent Kazuichi is to not wear a school uniform or how happy he seems in his own clothes versus literally anything else.

Lastly, Kazuichi has a chewing stim but he only indulges at home.
