Weather Report

Depression, like a stalker, waits impatiently in the dark alleys behind everyday life; the brain, unable to cope with its own processes and products, turns inward, criticizing; like hot stale phosphoric rain, smelling of burnt hardboiled eggs, it faintly sickens and permeates each nook and cranny of thought; there is an 80% chance that a chance encounter will induce panic, and the panic self-recrimination, and the self-recrimination obsession, and the obsession loss of focus; rapidly dropping barometer readings indicate a high likelihood of hangovers in the near future, assisting in no positive way; self-destructive behavior to follow on the weekend accompanied by showers of meaningless gestures, posturing, and other hypocrisies; next week, expect a cold comfort front accompanying renewed but hollow work-related successes.
