WHAT IF FRUITS HAD FEELINGS AND IF YOU ATE THEM YOU WOULD GET THOSE FEELINGS
OR WHAT IF FEELINGS WERE COLLECTIBLE BUT YOU HAD TO KEEP THEM IN THE BOX OR THEY'D LOSE VALUE
OR WHAT IF I COULD STEAL YOUR FEELINGS FROM A GREAT DISTANCE
OR QUIETLY LEECH THEM WHILE PROXIMAL TO YOU
LIKE WE'RE ALL HERE NOW AND IM HERE TOO AND IM SIPHONING OFF OF YOU
IM STEALING YR FEELINGS LITTLE BY LITTLE AND SOON I WILL BE RICH AND DRAMATIC AND LIKE A BEAUTIFUL STORM
AND YOU WILL BE LEADEN
YOU'LL BE DEAD IN THE WATER
YOU'LL BE HEAVY WOOD SOMEONE BROUGHT OUT INTO THE FIELD TO BUILD SOMETHING WITH AND THEN FORGOT ABOUT MANY YEARS AGO
THERE YOU SIT, USELESS
OR WHAT IF FEELINGS WERE DETACHABLE, SWAPPABLE
HERE LET'S TRADE
OR WHAT IF I GIVE AWAY ALL MY FEELINGS TO A FEELINGS PAUPER AND THEN WHAT
WILL I BE LIKE A BEAUTIFUL INSECT
FREE IN THE WORLD
SOMETIMES I WANT THE FEELINGS OF A HORSE
I WANT TO BE A HORSE FULL OF HORSE FEELINGS
AND I WANT TO RUN
RUNNING IS A FEELING IF YOU ARE A HORSE AND IT IS MAYBE THE BEST FEELING
WHALES HAVE THE BIGGEST, MOST PERFECT FEELINGS
THEY ARE IRREDUCIBLE
PLY THEM WITH ALL THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND COME AWAY CLEAN
AND WITH NO DISCERNIBLE PROGRESS
FEELINGS BORN IN PRESSURES LIKE THAT RESIST US
OR WHAT IF SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A LOT OF HUMAN FEELINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DORMANT INSIDE US
AND THE FIRST PERSON TO AWAKEN THEM WINS A PRIZE
A SERIES OF RECKLESS EXPERIMENTS BORN SUDDENLY AND RESULTING IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTAL DEATHS WILL NOT DETER US
WE ARE IMPLACABLE
WE ARE LIKE THE TIDE, TAKEN TOGETHER
THE HUMAN SPECIES CANNOT BE ARGUED WITH
WE ARE CERTAIN AND FATAL
BUT I WONDER IF WE TOOK THE AVERAGE WHAT THE AVERAGE HUMAN FEELING IS
IM GOING TO GUESS HUNGRY
IM GOING TO GUESS EAGER
IM GOING TO GUESS "WANT"
IM GOING TO GUESS VAIN
WE HAVE A WHOLE MENAGERIE OF VANITIES AND WE LIKE TO PUT THEM ON DISPLAY
SO LONG AS SOMEONE'S LOOKING
WHAT IS THE FEELING OF DESIRING TO BE SEEN
WHAT IS THE FEELING OF BEING ON A LIFELONG QUEST OF TRYING TO DISCOVER YOURSELF IN OTHERS
WHAT IS THE FEELING OF WANTING TO STEP COMPLETELY AND PAINLESSLY OUTSIDE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN REST
IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
