When you're just not feeling well

What kind of WebMD Google

Wiki explanations can I

bear to reach and read and

finally find some answers?

Who decided that this was

Our human experience?

To be bound by these bodies

these bones and tendons?

Microvilli

Blood vessels

Veins

Neurons

Calcium

Potassium

Ears that are too sensitive

Temperature that’s hard

to regulate. To stabilize

to relax and unwind…

Hormones that dictate

explosions and suffering.

Is it high cortisol?

Is it my BMI?

I can't escape these ads

Instagram, Twitter,

Tik Tok, YouTube -

Trying to tell me to

buy this book, try these

gummies, have this

coffee - lose that weight!

Then, and only then,

will I supposedly have

all these problems of

My biological processes

Go away.
