Elucidating Questions

Wouldn’t that have been funny

All this time, all this pain

Defeated by an itchy bug bite

But those things itch fuck

The problem with an itch versus pain

And I get this difference when my skin is on fire for no reason

You can scratch an itch

Right?

Interact with it

Even if scratching just makes it worse

In the moment you’re scratching it you’re like

This was a brilliant idea

But pain doesn’t even have that placebo moment where you’re creating endorphins

It just is pain

At least we have things to relieve the itch

Never mind the other day when I was wondering if cutting off my arm would relieve the pain

I was ready to chew through my ankle

Different sensations

Perhaps I felt it more intensely because my skin is always just a bit itchy

Thank you bug gel

Now I have some screwing around with technology to do
