The Us

it is a mystery to me. comfort from nowhere. in simple exchanges and nodding of heads. is it scent?. or pheromones?. or just presence?. whatever, it happens -- an understanding of so much more than what is said. here i am not alone. i free myself from the ridicule of the They. and comfort myself in the acceptance of the Us as we wrap up and bind. the craving must be sated. less we starve our brains to insanity.
