Day 7 – The Attenborough Session

I don’t know how to say it
She makes me feel such…such…

Rage?

No, not that. An emotion that is
Far more complicated

Frustration?

That’s closer. Have you ever 
Done a cinnamon challenge?

The one where you… you…

Eat a spoonful of cinnamon. 
She makes me feel like that. 
There is a burning dust in my throat
And I am unable to swallow. 
There is a pounding headache at 
the base of my skull, static and untreatable
There is an acupuncture needle being inserted 
Into my ear and I can roll my eyes to watch. 

So, how does she make you feel?

I’m watching a gazelle
Move across the African Veldt
But I know that there is a lion watching and 
It is just the way of nature that prey get eaten 
And predators move on 

She makes you feel…like a lion?

No, like the gazelle.
