Antibiotics, not amputation.

Being a cynical optimist is hard to explain to others, sometimes...

It's like "everything is falling apart, but all is not lost"
In fact, the falling apart is actually fine, because it's all infected.

People often think they can isolate and separate the "bad parts" but it's really all poisoned.

But that's ok, because we have an immune system/liver/pick your analogy to deal with that.
The same mechanisms of reciprocal influence that got us into the mess can pull us out. (and they are, right this very minute...)

But it has to start somewhere, is all. Keep watering those seeds and be patient.

tied and time-bound
nemo better hurry
nautiloid recursions
always the same
but always different
stand for something else
but take no side
and unwind
we get to side-step
underdetermined and wet
behind the years
we can add a new twist
not old dogs, but tricky
there is only one motive force.
