“it’s in your mind, some poet just told me when I started to mention the crazy things going on in my body. And maybe she’s right.  Because I really am all right.  but suddenly something pokes at me from inside – here, there, somewhere else.  a boring stomach ache, a sharp pain in the back of my head, a jolt from my side. Totally unlike any symptom we’ve been warned against.  Clearly an imagined war going on inside my body.  Nevertheless, it meant a day not doing the stuff I should have done.  

But maybe it’s real.  And which are the forces of evil, which are the forces of good?
