“We do not deal much in facts when we are contemplating ourselves.” Mark Twain
Conditioned The silent pavlovian bell possesses my body with ancient responses to the ghosts of my feelings long held, always awaiting invitation despite my ready disavowals, that I have transformed the habitations of my heart, the lump in my throat is to the contrary, making clear my self-deception.

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
